Bottle. Almost black, caramel, licorice and soft whisky notes in the aroma. Full bodied. Fat Malty sweet flavor with Dominating whisky. Hints of licorice and caramel behind the whisky. Raisin. Low on carbon. Excellent but Not very Subtle.

Bottle thanks to Dan. It pours opaque jet black with a small tan head. The aroma is sweet, vanilla, oak, chocolate cake, gooey, oily, fudge, wood and dried fruits. The taste is dry, bitter, earthy, roasted malt, slick, roasted malt, tarry, charred, leathery, wood, vanilla, whiskey and some peppery spice with a woody finish. Full body, fine carbonation and oily mouth - feel. Decent gear.

Bottle shared in Columbus - cheers to Dan the Osprey. Pours deep brown with a foamy, tan head. Mild oxidation, a bit of smoke, ash, earth, leathery berries. Medium sweet flavour with notes of dry torched wood, brown sugar, ash, alcohol. Meidum to full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, some booze, more ash, cocoa, a little peat, smoke. Fun stuff. Rich but well rounded.

330 ml bottle. Pours black with light foamy tan head. Aromas of clean green oak whisky barrels, black coffee vanilla and dry roasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional dusty chocolate and subtle dry whisky. Complex with lots of depth and subtlety. Typical brilliant Kees. (2016 project rated in 2018)

Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Palate is smooth, semi dry and has modest fine carbonation. Soft smooth dark malts. bring bitterish licorice. Smooth malt cream, touches of dark and milk chocolate. A light fruity spicy spirit in the background. Spicy licorice finish. Interesting.
