This version of Jester King and Mikkeller’s collaborative imperial oatmeal stout, made with chipotle peppers and smoked malt, was aged for six months in Tennessee whiskey barrels, prior to the addition of a special blend of Vietnamese coffees, including a large portion of authentic Kopi Luwak coffee (a.k.a. “weasel coffee”).

From bottle @ Borefts 2012. Almost black, opague. Malt, roast, chocolate, oak and bourbon in the aroma. Malty sweet roasty flavor, boozy with whisky notes and some raw alcohol. Not a trace of the peppers, I’m glad to say.

No head. Aroma is slightly rich and sweet, dark sugar, oak, minerals, dark malts, dark fruits, licorice, grass, minerals, bourbon, bark, weeds, grassy chillies. Taste is slightly sour-ish dry, weeds, dark malts, oak, bark, booze, minerals, grass, burnt sugar, grassy chillies, burnt coffee. Medium bitterness, dry mineraly and watery mouthfeel. Not even close to as good as I remember it. Way over the top.

Bottle split at Bruce’s pad, thanks to Kenny, 12/05/14. Pitch black with a moderate tan swirl. Nose carries big roasted vibes, dark chocolat, whisky resonance, light coffee, molastic pangs. Taste comprises rich chocolate, toffee fudge, brown sugars, coffee grinds, subtle enough bourbonics, spice, shades of green pepper. Medium + body, fine carbonation, light spice and BA notes ring out in the close. Solid!

Bottle shared at a tasting at Beer Market Jaffa. Black with a big brown head, a bit creamy. Lovely aroma, a bit alcoholic, with whiskey, vanilla, chocolate, coffee, some roastiness and a vegetal note. Alcoholic flavor, rather sweet, with dark chcoolate, some coffee, whiskey, vanilla and a somewhat burning finish with some hot chili. Full-bodied, quite silky. A bit too hot but still great.

Tasting at Bruce’s pad. Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Smooth palate, softish, fine carbonation. Rich dark chocolate malts. Little dark malt cream. Minor dark fruits. Chilli itch in the background. Mild whisky on the back end. Smooth finish with a chilli linger, not too strong. Flavoursome!

Bottle thanks to Kenny. It pours black with a thick tan head. The nose is bourbon, vanilla, toffee, light tang, marshmallow, toasted coconut, molasses, rocky road and fudge. The taste is bitter, alcohol sting, upfront bourbon, roasted malt, wood, liquorice, chilli spice, earth, some acidity, and coffee with a warming, spicy finish. Fullish body, prickly carbonation and viscous mouth-feel. Not as much depth as I had hoped, but not bad anyhow.
