Cheers to Gnoff for bringing this to Florida. Brune foncée, mousse beige avec léger filament dore sur le verre. Arôme est complexe, allant du bourbon, note de vanille, café et espresso, chocolat/café au lait. Tout comme le précédente version, le nez est fort en chocolat. En bouche et après que la bière se soit un peu réchauffée, on note de suite le bourbon et le tonneau qui donnent un superbe palais de bourbon, de douceur de vanille tout en gardant épaisseur du chocolat et de café au lait. Toujours cette marque de levure qui laisse aussi un palais que je trouve un peu trop effervescent. La même version que Idjit mais avec l’usage du tonneau.

Pours black. Vinous alcohol notes in the aroma. Also chocolate, vanilla, sweet licorice and cherry. The taste is more aggressive. Notes of licorice, wood and chocolate. Smooth.

Bottle at Bishops folkungagatan. Pours brown and a head can be wirled up. Rather sweet taste of cherries, licorice and chcolate. The vanilla and oak also plays a rather central part in this beer.

5cl sample@SBWF2010. Quite much pitch black colour, rather thick fluid, small off-white head. Aroma is alcohol, liquorice, some caramel, mild burnt notes, some wood, vanilla and also a bit salted liquorice. Flavour is quite much the same. Quite burning, but otherwise very nicely balance.

25 cl bottle at 3 Små Rum, Göteborg. On October 8, 2010. BB June 2013 Black color, no head at first, but builds up to a nice brown head after pouring slowly a while. Roasted, malty, vanilla, alcohol, caramel, fudge, coffee, wood, some smoke scent. Chocolate, malty, caramel, coffee, roasted, sweet taste. Coffee and roasted aftertaste that lingers very long. Full smooth lean mouthfeel, medium high bitterenss. Some warming alcohol.

On tap at SBWF. (rating number 800) Black with a small tan head. Very nice beer, vinous, licorice, coffee, oak, salt, chocolate. Heavy but nevertheless a very nice mouth feel. I would like to have some bottles in my cellar.

First in the que at SBWF yesterday :-), wee sample 5 cl! AP: pitch black colored body, wee brown head AR: coffee/chocolate alcohol, vinous, roasted malt, sea salt/licorice, F: coffee/chocolate , vinous, alcohol, roasted malt, sea salt/licorice, barrel, bourbon vanilla, full body, medium + bitterness, oily feeling, no curtains i.e. alcoholic traces. Had a break for 1 hour after this experience - so I had the opportunity to sniff the lovely chocolate/coffee/honey aromas for a long time out of the tulip glass. A bit softer and more oak then the Idjit! Extra: bribed my friend to a Kaggen (2009) for comparison. P .I . wasn’t as complex as the K.
