Bottled@PBF IX. More or less black ccolour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice some alcohol and mild spices. Flavour is liquorice, alcohol, some metallic (bloody) notes. I did like what this was going to be, but not what it turned out to be (from the aroma pow).

650ml bottle @ PBF IX
Pours dark brown, almost black with a smooth head. Aroma of nutty malts, berries, wood, ripe fruits and syrup. Taste is sweetish, malty and woody with notes of ripe fruits, berries and syrup. Finish is stuffy and malty with some wood and berries. Okay.

Bottle 660ml (PBF IX)
Dark brown color, small brown head. Slightly earthy, licorice aroma. Medium-bodied. Licorice, earthy flavors. A bit sweet in the finish. Suprisingly strong cellar flavor. Disappointing.

66cl bottle @ PBF Ⅸ
Aroma is sweet with some bourbon tones and vanilla. Feels quite light. Flavour is odd with urinal cake, some sourness and citrus, Feels thin for this ABV - and I’d expect a beer with this name to be more rich. Now this feels just straightforward bourbon juice with some root beer tones.

Bottle, 66cl. A dark brown beer, looking unclear, and topped by a small, dark beige head. The aroma has roasted malts, salty licorice, some coffee grit and burnt down bonfire, hints of dried fruits and a little berryish sourness. Oak notes and a faint touch of booze. It’s a tad thin on the body, still far from watery, with a soft carbonation level. The flavor has more oak than the aroma, with roasted malts, berries, dark chocolate, brandy, hints of vinegar-ish cider and raisins. Lasting roasted and vinous, almost boozy finish. Berries, dark chocolate and bonfire chimes in. Sure a complex one, lots of fine flavors and aromas. Probably the first time I taste a beer aged in cider brandy barrels. I like it. More and more as it warms up and I drink it. 140620

0.6l bottle. Not even a hint of a swoosh when popping the cap on this one, and the head is a good as - or more precise totally absent. I'm going on a limb here and assuming that this will be one within the soft-carbonation category... Only a few scattered translucent bubbles on top of a deep dark licorice brown/black body. I smell lots of wood, sweet herbs, a little bit of licorice, dark fruits and some smoky hints in the back. A bit mild and definitely gentle, not bad though. Hmm.. This does not taste all that good to be honest. As good as dead flat on the bubbles as expected and it feels light oily in the mouth. Really woody and dusty in the taste. Old licorice, a good amount of sharp booze, some strange unbalanced smoky/rope thing and it's drying out my mouth in a unnatural way. There's no way I can finish this. A huge let down. *edit* Well, I did finish it, but it did not get any better.. Not much anyways. 27.11.2013

Opaque dark brown beer, short tan head. Palate is semi dry and very lightly crisp. Mild smooth dark malts. Touch of unsweet dark chocolate. This year the apple brandy infusion is flavoursome and yet mellow. It tastes of, well duh, little light apple and mellow winey brandy. Light finish. Nicely joined up and pretty drinkable.

Craft Islington bottleshare. Touch of chocolate here. Nice tangy toffee - apple. Smooth and spicy finish. Good stuff.

Bottle at home. Pours a black colour with a small. light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, soy sauce, oak, dark chocolate, dried fruit, licorice and dark berries. The flavour has even more roastedness along with coffee, ash, cough syrup and fruity tones in the background. Has a silky mouth feel, and a light bitterness. A nice roasted and fruity old ale. Really complex and tasteful.
