Can at home. Has a black colour with a very small beige head. Aroma of oak, vanilla, roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, bourbon and nougat. Flavour of oak, ash, chocolate truffles, brown sugar, vanilla, bourbon, tobacco and roasted coffee beans. Warming alcohol in the end. Has a silky mouth feel, full-bodied and a light bitterness. A little boozy aroma but the flavour is surprisingly balanced and tasteful.

0,33l can from Alko. BBE 31 December 2022. Very dark brown, almost black beer with small and quickly vanishing head. Aroma has oak barrel, bourbon, port wine, dried fruits, vanilla and chocolate. Flavor is strong too with berries, dried fruits, vanilla, chocolate, bourbon and oak barrel with some port wine twist. Full body, sweet n tasty. Booziness is not dominating and is wonderfully balanced compared to high abv.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Pitch black, no head. Aroma of honey, licorice and vanilla. Very sweet with massive body and sticky mouthfeel. Male syrup, honey and treacle. Milk chocolote and bourbon. Boozy chocolate finish. Bold and boozy, surprisingly non-complex for its size.

Thanks for the can Fin! Very black-ish black with a black shine, low collapsing brown head. Old wood-soap aroma, spongy, smoke dark caramel, pine needles, currant, very intense, I have trouble identifying things. Medium full chewy dry body. Full wood vanilla entry, fairly sweet, wood in various states, from fresh staves to decayed, peat, coffee liquor, boozy, not sure I really would enjoy a cocktail or liquor which tasted like this. Still, strangely easy to drink.
