Pours black, small layer of tanned head. Scent is way more soy than expected. Overpowering... Unpleasant even.. Waauw... Taste is roasty, medium thick, soy, ashy, chocolate. Age shows (always cellared in great condition by myself, had it for a few years, so perhaps bad practises before that?) Tastes like an aged stout, extra's are damp cellar and SOY. Cognac isn't recognizable, neither is oak. Neither is a basebeer thats anything above... OK . WHAT a let down. Is this a fake bottle? had it been poorly stored? is the second batch THIS much less good, or has my palate changed THAT much (and not with any other beers I retried ) ? Who's to say... But the dissapointement is REAL in this one. As far as I remember, I got it trough a non-beer friend in Sweden, straight from systembolaget...

Missed rating, only checked in without vintage before
Oh my! Old school Stormakts-awesome. Lots of cognac without losing character or cognac fruitiness and turning just booze. Lovely roasty dark chocolate stout base. Lives up to its name!
Finally, been hoping for this one for years, and it did not disappoint. Honey, licorice, salty, sweet, light cognac, subtly wooded. So much flavors, all in great balance. Absolutely beautiful.
