Botella de 75 cl en el lúpulo en 27_02_2014. en el momento. Aromas a chocolate y cacao con ligeros tostados. Un autentico licor de café y chocolate con un cuerpo intenso de 10 vol que está en todo momento presente. Ligeros toques de maderas y quemados. Poco o casi nada de gas que lo aligera. Ligero amargo final. Color negro intenso con nada de espuma. Aumento de la densidad a medida que calienta. Muy buena, muy interesante los sabores intensos de café y sobretodo de chocolate.

75cl bottle @ Delirium Hoppy Loft, cheers Neil for cracking this one. Couleur noire foncée, col café au lait laissant un léger doré au verre. Arôme est malté avec un bouquet café renforcé qui se retrouve en avant. Le tout est accompagné de qcq effluves boisées et bourbon qui manque juste un peu de briller. Palais est profond et complexe, malté chocolaté, caramel, pointe de café rappelant le café refroidi qui se note surtout en fin de bouche. Le bourbon reste discret et retrait par rapport au profil très malté de cette bière. Amertume légère en fin de bouche sans vraiment un apport spécial des houblons. Se termine sur une note épicée-boisée de chêne.

750 ml bottle into snifter, best before May 2013 stamped on the cork. Pours fairly pitch black color with a small dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of milk chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, cocoa, bourbon, oak, vanilla, toast, toffee, light clove, raisin, and roasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of roasted notes with chocolate, coffee, and barrel character; and good strength. Taste of milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee, roasted malt, vanilla, toast, oak, bourbon, light char, raisin, toffee, light clove, and roasted earthiness. Slight coffee bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, cocoa, vanilla, toast, toffee, bourbon, oak, raisin, brown sugar, and roasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice balance and complexity roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee flavor with moderate fruitiness; with a balanced barrel presence and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a moderately creamy and slick mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good barrel aged stout. Nice balance and complexity of chocolate, coffee, roast, and barrel flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the gravity. A nicely enjoyable offering.
