Flip top bottle 100 cl. Bottle # 269/2500. Pours a clear black with a reddish hue and a small, light brown head. Subtle roasted nose, some cocoa - close to no barrel character. Medium body, surprisingly thin for the style, slightly harsh roastiness, again cocoa, getting a little boozy towards the end but again dissapointingly little barrel character. 040915

Swing top bottle at home, poured into a tulip glass at slight bit below room temp. Thinner body than expected, no head, soft whiskey, butter, oak, maple, some light smoke, dark fruit and chocolate. Mouthfeel is light and thin, a little disappointing and unsatisfying. Some bitterness from the dark chocolate flavour combines well with the inherent sweetness of the whiskey and oak. Overall a well balanced barrel aged beer but left more to be desired.
