Boozy and alcoholic as fuck. Loads of whiskey, too much, making it a bit thin and solvently. No balance... otherwise not bad.

Bottle at home. Pitch black pour with a thin espresso head that gives way to a very thin lacing. Notes of roasted malts, cherries, smoke, scotch whiskey and alcohol. Full body, medium to low carbonation and a roasty bitter-sweet finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Zwarte Snorre Barrel Aged Imperial Whisky on 28 Oct 2016 at 12:00 - Score: 8

Dunkler malziger Antrunk, viskos, sehr weich. Geringe, hinter dem Malz verschwindende Herbe. Alkoholisch werdend, deutlich nach Whiskey. Vollmundig, süßliche Schokoladennoten. Angenehme Intensität ohne zu stark und klebrig zu sein. 8/12/11/12/11/12

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle at ’Beertemple’, best before March 2017, courtesy of PotjeBier, thanks Arjen, was really looking forward to this one! Pitch black, no head. Sweetish, slightly roasty, moderately peaty and a bit medicinal aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, whiskey, some tar and iodine. Sweetish-malty, moderately roasty, medium peaty taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, tar and iodine, followed by a long, medium roasty-bitter, quite warming-alcoholic finish. Medium to full body, oily mouthfeel, flat. Good, quite well-balanced, but with a heavy finish.
