Can at home, Nivala. Enjoyed straight from the can. Aromas and flavors: Chocolate, berries, alcohol, malts... boozy and hard to drink.

Can ordered from Brew Cavern, Nottingham. Aroma combines sweet rotting fruit and dried fruit with nuts and booze. Opaque stygian cola brown. Foamy off-white head. A booze sodden woody sour bite strikes first. A bitter edge. Vestigial sweetness. Medium-heavy bodied. Oily. Soft carbonation. Long astringent finish. A big boozy beer with the barrel taking the leaf. More BLACKgaze than blackGAZE.

Intensiver, trocken alkoholisch-torfiger Beginn. Weich, viel Holz, mild bitter. Zwischenzeitlich spritig, insgesamt aber harmonisch. Mittellanger Abgang. Gut. 7/10/10/12/8/11

Cette collaboration entre Kees et Hair of the Dog fait avant tout un excellent after avec un alcool franc et chaleureux à 12,5 % et des arômes simples mais agréables prioritairement sur le caramel et fudge avec bien entendu de whisky (vieillissement de 18 mois en fut de Loch Lomond). Ne pas attendre cependant de complexité extraordinaire. En verre nous somme sur un brun (EBC de 95) quasiment sans effervescence. Le nez est sur le caramel, le fudge, le candy, le raisin, la date et le whisky. L'ensemble est direct sans réelles variations mais appréciable. Il en va exactement de même à la dégustation avec un cocktail principalement tourné vers le caramel/fudge/whisky franc et direct tout comme l'est l'alcool qui est chaleureux, mais bien intégré et ne dénotant pas. L'alcool se rehausse même en seconde bouche sur une bonne corpulence et intensité. L'arrière bouche est à l'identique alors que le final laisse des arômes de fudge durer en bouche. Très bien pour terminer une soirée.

Can picked up from www drankgigant.nl, nr Vlissengen Netherlands *I think I got it there. Consumed at home Tuesday 13th July 2021 after having the very boastily named The Best Swedish Meatballs for tea (apparently!), and after Beer School with Nat tonight, level 2, session 2. Woah this was not what I expected, quite unbalanced and a little rough. I hadn't a clue what the barrel ageing was, I guessed Tequila BA, Loz bizzarely gets lots of coconut. It really is a messy beer, strong, lacks a maltiness despite the abv, some fruitiness. The jury is out with me and my view on this, it does not taste like whisky barrels, whatever barrel it is and I suggested tequila it's one that I don't like.

33cl can from Alko. Pouree dark brown in color. Super boozy and wet wood, smell of paint or wood cleaning chemicals. Drainpour. Horrible!

Solvent... Not balanced... Gaat nu wat alle kanten uit... Nope. Misschien wat meer tijd geven... Zou moeten op fles gebotteld worden.

330ml can. Sweet, medicinal and boozy with some oak, tonka, wood, berries and stuffy yeastiness. Quite weird and unbalanced
