Aromas are a little bit of an odd mix of molasses, funk, roast and dark malt. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, add in coffee with good balance between sweet, bitter and carbonation. Very easy drinking beer with alcohol well hidden. Super smooth.
Not quite as good as I remembered. Roasty, heavy and sweet with some stingy and slightly warming bourbon notes, coffee and cocoa, hints of bitterness
gave a cheers!

0.355 l bottle from 'Beyond Beer', 2022 vintage, bottled in April 2022. Pitch black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, light brown head. Intensely sweetish-malty, quite roasty, a little fruity aroma of praline, coffee, bourbon, vanilla, roasted hazelnut and traces of green apple. Quite sweet, malty, fairly roasty, gently boozy taste of praline, quite some bourbon, coffee, roasted hazelnut, licorice, vanilla and traces of green apple, followed by a long, quite roasty-bitter finish. Full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Delicious treat, very intense, fairly heavy on the barrel, great base beer, of course. I would have expected a bit more sophistication as it's quite in your face, especially at almost one-and-a-half years of age, but it's a pleasure to drink nevertheless.

Black with a large foamy dark brown head. Roasty with red wine, bourbon, coffee, vanilla, floral hops and a very strong boozy presence. Very long boozy finish. Full bodied. Booziness overwhelmed

Poured from the bottle (shared post-Alus Celle bottle share event). Near black with small off white head. Bourbon forward, gentle roast and chocolate. Quite nice.
