(Bottle, thanks to Håkan) black colour with brief, frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, soy sauce, liquorice, oak wood and a touch of bourbon. Malty, roasted, slightly vinous taste with black coffee, cacao, soy sauce, liquorice, oak wood, bourbon, vanilla and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich, tasty, warming and quite powerful. Great beer!

Medium brown, lots of cocoa, and a bit toasty, not bad, bit fudgey. Mid range.

Bottle at Black Christmas 2017
Black color. Mild aroma of dark malts and bourbon. Dark malts flavor, moderately sweet, a lot of booze.
Good but excessive.

650mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out bourbon barrels, brown sugar and molasses. Flavour is along the same lines, with caramel, brown sugar and bourbon barrels. Warming but not too boozy for the ABV. Really good stuff.

A pour from the bottle on Black Christmas V. Pours a very dark brown with a beige head. Bourbony, fruity. Nice.
