Bottle from the brewery shared with my buddy Mick. Nutty ethanol and chocolate chip cookie dough in the aroma on a deep only black with a tan head. Rich full mouthfeel but this is hella boozy over roasty bitter chocolate, oats, toffee and tons of heat. These beasts are good but to me the high ABV detracts rather than enhances.

Flaske (2007-årgangen på 16%) delt på RBHD-samling, hjemme, mai-16: kullsort med antydning til skum. Intense saker både mtp aroma og smak. Fusel og soyasaus nevnes rundt bordet, jeg finner også fiken, sviskeplommer og mørk lakris. Stor, varmende munnfylde med bær i tillegg til det jeg llerede har nevnt, og magefølelsen gir stort velvære. Kraftkost for viltre krabater som verdsetter de gode smaker i små slurker.

Pours like a stout from a bottle. I like that deScription: "rum-soaked caramelized dark fruits". That’s about it right there. I suppose the bitterness and mouthfeel do contribute some espresso type of tone, but in general it’s a boozy, somewhat fruity stout. Man, I feel like I’m getting drunker with every sip. Good beer.

12.04.2015, 0,35l bottle (2014 vintage) @ home:
Big brown creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly rich and sweet, dark malts, caramel, soy sauce, dark sugar, chocolate, coffee, grass, alcohol, hops, pine needles, licorice. Taste is kind of harsh and boozy, sour coffee, booze, harsh hops, grass, dark malts, burnt caramel, pine needles, bark, minerals. Longlasting bitterness, harsh boozy mouthfeel. A typical beer I need to rerate at some point, when it’s been aged for many many years.

Sampled from bottle @ RBBSG 2015. Opaque pitch black color, small brown head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is malts, dark malts, chocolate and chocolate. Taste malts, dark malts, chocolate, balanced alcohol, bitter and some roast. Medium body and carbonation. Very nice!
