@ Borefts 2014. Black colour, dark brown head. Soft carbonation. Aroma of roasted malts and coffee with caramel, vanilla and sweet molasses. Well balanced, but a tad too sweet.

Sampled draft @ Borefts 2014. Thank you! Pitch black, creamy mocha head. Very warming mocha, bourbon, caramel, syrup nose, amazing. Very warming, thick light liquorish, candy, brown sugar, pancake syrup, some roast, crazy thick beer. Absolutely amazing.

On tap @ Haandfest 2014. It's pretty much black looking in the glass this one. Only a small islandy brown sidesticking top. Lovely nose. Lots of rich chocolate and vanilla. Bourbon booziness and licorice. Tons of licorice in the taste a bit like drinking liquefied IFA (Norwegian salty licorice pastilles). Yeah, this is how a beer should taste superbly flavorful. It has a thick and oily feeling in the mouth and a soft orickling carbonation level. The licorice, salty kind dominates the taste. It's also sharp and you can really sense the alcohol here. Lingering chocolate and something that reminds me of a chili burn in the aftertaste. Most likely just the alcohol though. Yeah, a lovely one! 24.05.2014

Tap at CBC 2014. Beer in the glass deep black, small head. Heavy malty aroma. Starts strong, heavy malty, intense, earthy, peat, hints of liqourice. Warming-malty finish. Not bad!

660ml bottle from BeerRitz. Annual release 2014. Pours black with a frothy tan foam head leaving some lacing and aroma of chocolate, woody oak, vanilla, caramel, berry fruits, coffee. Taste is sweet caramel, toffee, chocolate, molasses, dried fruity, followed by wood, oak, vanilla, roast malt, coffee and then boozy earthy grassy notes. Smooth mouthfeel, full bodied, soft carbonation, lingering chocolatey roast bitter finish. Very drinkable.

Bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield. 2014 release. Clear, dark cola colour. Minimal, but sticky, pale tan head. Raisins steeped in Bourbon. Old Jamaica chocolate. Vanilla. Fudgy toffee. Some fusty orange hop. Treacle. Taste is sweet, with the vanilla coming through first. Light, smoky molasses thing going on after that. Lots of boozy warmth. Palate is big, oily, smoky, and cocoa delicious. Finish is all of that. Very good.

Woodshed 3.0! Sample courtesy of nbutler11, muled back from the UK. Thanks Nick. The bottle pours with a mahogany colored body that supports a tan head. The aroma is inviting and offers up fairly rich coffee goodness, dark roasted malts, a dash of burnt malts, smooth bourbon and a sliver of sweet marshmallow. The taste is pleasing and rich as it delivers dark roasted coffee that is sweetened by malts and molasses and then it rolls into a smooth sweet bourbon note that has a thin edge of booziness to it. Very nice.

On tap at Haand Festival -14. An almost black one, topped by a dense dark beige head. The aroma has chocolate, bourbon and coffee, some sourish malts blending in. It has a nice bitterness in the flavor, with roasted malts, chocolate, coffee and some bourbon. Warming, full-bodied and with a pleasant carbonation level. Mostly roasted finish with some bourbon notes. Overall, too much bourbon for my likings, but sure nice. 140523
