Matured in hand selected Dingle Distillery Bourbon and Port casks has lent this beer a unique and complex character, with a smooth, rich and intense flavour. The rich roast and full bodied flavour of the stout is accentuated by the sweet warmth of the Bourbon and the dry fruitiness of the Port.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks beerandbeyond. Very dark brown to black. Aroma of roastiness, notes of chocolate, coffee hints, whiskey, alcohol and some fruity notes. Sweet flavor of chocolate, whiskey, a bit of coffee and alcohol. Medium to full-bodied. Decent.

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, copenhagen
Vertical with basic (2010) version
Flavour is quite different from the basic version with vanilla and bourbon notes. And hints of cocoa. Flavour has lots of vanilla, some bourbon notes and hints of coffee. Warming alcohol in the finish. Much better than the basic version.

330ml bottle from Kihoskh
Pours pitch black with a tiny smooth head. Aroma of roasty malts, some vanilla notes, strong wooden and oaky notes. Taste is slightly roasty with some malts, a lot of oaky and wooden notes, hints of vanilla and cream. Finish is oily and slightly roasty with oak and vanilla. A lot better than the original one.

Bottle at The Bottle Shop Canterbury. Black as hell body thin beige head. Woody vinous aroma. Some whiskey. Aroma like a good oloroso sherry. Woody. Yes too woody. Bug slap of alcohol and vanilla and just too much dry wood. Almost too much. The thing is there is a really good beer beneath this but the wood is too much now and will only grow. It is like licking a plank of pine wood and its too much. Its a decent little impy stout but the barrel ageing hasnt helped it too much as the plank overwhelms the fruit. Still its decent if a touch too woody

Black color; medium sized head. Mild aroma of chocolate, vanilla, liquor, wood. Excellent flavor, it tastes like a chocolate filled with liquor, and vanilla, with a touch of liquorice; very rich; moderate sweetness; in the final there is some liquorice and tar, and very light malt sourness. Nice alcohol warmth.
Excellent beer, with a vibe.

Bottle at Leighton’s Beer, Bocce and Boozer tasting, thanks to the man himself. It pours deep ruby, with a thick beige head. The nose is sweet caramel, toast, roasted malt and malt vinegar. The taste is roasted malt, caramel, dark fruit, toast, earth and coffee, with a warming finish. Medium-Full body and average carbonation. A solid Imperial stout.

Bottle at the Beer, Bocce and Boozer tasting, London. Thanks Bruce! Pours black-brown with a cream, beige head. Boozy cocoa nose with some faint plastic, earth and roasted malts. Nice flavor, though, and potent. Medium roast with booze-soaked wood, scorched earth, burnt malts. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warm finish, very woody, some burnt earth, a bit more booze, mild cocoa. Decent stuff.
