Draught at source: still black. Oily as all hell. Aroma is wood, rum, vanilla, chocolate, loads of all of all of the above. Excessively decadent and rich. Super thick. Quite sweet. One of the more over the top beers I have had in my life.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Pitch black colour, not much head. Aroma is alcohol, coffee, some ashes, mild toffee and some burnt nutty tones. Flavour is liquorice, black berries, coffee, some ashes, burnt nutty tones with some burning alcohol and some almost burnt wooden tones. Really thick palate. After the burn from alcohol and all the sweetness lays down, there's a short moment of some peanut buttery tones to it.

Draft at $3 an oz it almost didn't get ordered luckily Ibrew2or3 did: Poured a pitch black with maybe a couple bubbles if that of a head. Aroma is huge barrel, vanilla, chocolate, boozy. Taster was the most complex tongue feel since trying Närke Kaggen Stormaktsporter, it seemed to evolve with chocolate, roast, toffee, boozy, woodsy, alcohol, sweetness in there as well. Literally, I identified a difference in every sip.
