(Bottle) Black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with black coffee, dark chocolate, liquorice, oak wood, bourbon, vanilla and raisins. Malty, roasted, vinous taste with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, cacao, oak wood, bourbon, vanilla, treacle, raisins, liquorice and a generous cacao bitterness in the finish. Full body, quite sweet. Rich and tasty, with a generous bourbon wood character. Very nice.

Taste has salt liquorice, barrel, light bourbon and roastiness, some prune, richness of malts. Full bodied, but not stickyness. Great beer, powerfull, intensive and balanced.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Black, small beige head. Huge aroma of bourbon, treacle and licorice. Very sweet with full body and rounded, somewhat syrupy mouthfeel. Treacle dominates. Bourbon and salmiak are evident. Warming finish. Big, bold and sticky.

330ml bottle. Sweet, peaty and woody with hints of rye, bourbon, toffee, syrup and ashy notes, some licorice, roastiness, coffee and dark chocolate. Feels surprisingly peaty for a bourbon barrel stout.

440ml can from Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. A deep black body under a fawn-coloured head blanketing the glass. Dark malty aromas, well roasted with scent of liquorice and black chocolate. Well blended malt-driven taste of liquorice, grainy chocolate and a twist of dark fruits. Smoothly roasted finish. Does not taste the strong. A nice one. (Rating session at Finn's place, with djoeye and Finn, Tromsø 18.02.2021).

Spandert av Rune. Delt med ham & djoeye på Nerstranda. Svart. Lavt mokkafarget filmskum. Nøttearoma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken lakris, lær & sjokolade.
