9200th review! 22 ounce bottle into snifter, 2019 vintage bottling. Pours dense opaque pitch black color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy dark tan head with solid retention, that reduces to a thin ring of lace cap that lingers. Minimal spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, coconut, fudge, brownie batter, marshmallow, biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, molasses, raisin, fig, date, smoke, char, leather, tobacco, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/oaky earthiness. Minimal booze in the aromas as it warms. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/black/roast/bready malts, bourbon barrels, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with big strength. Taste of huge dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, coconut, fudge, brownie batter, marshmallow, biscuit, and dark bread/crust; with lighter notes of licorice, molasses, raisin, fig, date, smoke, char, leather, tobacco, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/oaky earthiness. Mild herbal, grassy, peppery, roast, charred bitterness; and bourbon/oak tannin spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, brown sugar, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oak, coconut, fudge, brownie batter, marshmallow, biscuit, dark bread/crust, licorice, molasses, dark fruit, smoke, char, leather, tobacco, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast/roast/oaky earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, bourbon barrels, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a great roast/hop bitter/sweet and bourbon/oak spiciness balance; with no cloying, acrid, astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes. Light-medium carbonation and full full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/velvety/bready, and lightly slick/sticky/chalky/tannic mouthfeel that is fantastic. Mild increasing warmth of 10%, with minimal barrel booziness lingering after the finish. Overall this a fantastic Baltic porter. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/black/roast/bready malts, bourbon barrels, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to suip on for the big ABV, with the mildly bitter/tannic/drying finish; amazingly soft/silky feel for the ABV. Amazing balance of super rich malts and bourbon barrel presence/integration; with mild earthy hops and fruity yeast. Not overly sweet/heavy from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on style example as expected.

Flaska från Mikkeller, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Baltic Porter på etiketten. Kolsvart med liten och snabbt försvinnande krona. Massor av choklad, kakao, bourbonfat, romrussin, marsipan och körsbärslikör i doften. Förhållandevis tunn kropp i sammanhanget, vilket känns absurt att säga - för detta är fortfarande stort. Mjuk och len och alldeles lagom i storlek. Vill inte ha den större. Smaken samma som doften. Rejäla mängder choklad och bourbonfat som ger marsipan och likörpralin. Bra fatkaraktär och hetta som hänger kvar länge i munnen. Riktigt sött och chokladigt, utan att bli för sliskigt. Trots sötman är chokladigheten elegant och ger en snygg, smulig kakaokänsla. Fantastiskt gott och mitt i prick i både doft och smak, fatlagring och kropp. Håller ihop riktigt snyggt. Tog denna tidigt på kvällen som den första av Cycle-stouts då jag tänkte att denna skulle vara lättast, men slog de senare flaskorna med hästlängder. Fantastiskt gott!
