6.8/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Draught @ SKAAL Sønderborg. Pours hazy dark brown with airy light tan head. Clear aroma of malt, dried fruit, and barrel. Bitter, boozy onset, giving way to notes of dried fruit, roast and oak barrel. Bitter aftertaste with touches of vanilla and dryish, vinous notes. Warming alcohol presence. Reasonable but very heavy.

Can from Hopt. Lots of boozy barrel influence on the aroma with sweet malt, caramel, alcohol, raisins, molasses, some iodine, figs, spirits. Flavour is medium sweet, light bitter with a boozy sting. Body is full, sticky texture. Sippable but unbalanced, too sharp and hot.

Can, 13%. Vanilla and paint thinner aroma. Very dark brown colour. Seems unclear. No head. The flavour is very sweet. Has vanilla, coconut, much alcohol. And more paint thinner. Citric finish.

Can. Dark brown color. Rye, vanilla and bourbon in the slightly herbal aroma. Malty, very sweet flavor with toffee, dried figs and rye. Vanilla and bourbon. Immense body, slightly alcoholic. There are so many flavors to compensate the immense sweetness.
