Light sour note in the aroma, but it doesn't show any issue in the flavour; for the rest, it's still a delicious chocolate beer, moderately sweet, not hot, with just some slight trace of oxidation in the end.

Black color, small head. Strong aroma of roasted malt. Good body strength, sweetish flavor, excellent chocolate, with light roasted malt and coffee. Extremely good balance is the winning key here.
Unforgettable experience on the RBESG bus!

Black color; small layer of bubbles. The dustiest aroma of burnt malts and burnt coffee. Sweet chocolate and coffee flavor, correct bitterness, with some light burnt malt and ashes here and there, luckily less prominent than in the aroma. Good, but a step backward, instead of being a step forward.

As with the Wild Turkey version, this one poured black, headless and thick. Similarly nice base of dark chocolate, coffee and roasty, fruity malt. The sweet cognac note is just wonderful and complements the stout very nicely. Taste seems sweeter than the WT version but it’s got a similar tannic touch in the finish. Lots of fruity dark malt, molasses and more cognac on the palate. Fairly thick. Low carbonation. Interesting and tasty stout.

Bottled courtesy of some Dutch rb crew, tasting @ cgarvieuk. Black colour tan head. Nose is deep roasted malts, strong coffee, creamy, coffee milk. Flavour is dry roasty, coffee and coffee milk, oak, really chewy. Very balanced. Dry and smooth finish. Really a cracker.

Bottle thanks to Dany. Pours black. Tan head. Lots of carbonation. Nose of rich coffee, dark chocolate malt, roast chocolate, bourbon, oak chips and vanilla. Taste of same. Good mouth feel.

At a tasting, many thanks, DSG, very dark brown , aromatic coffee aroma with notes of burned sugar and toasted bread, flavour of charred wood, dark chocolate, dark bread with brown sugar sweetness and a hint of dried fruits in the back. Excellent stout.
