Catada en Schniffter, color negro opaco, oscura como la brea, hay que saber escanciarla y currárselo para sacarle algo de espuma, si lo logras obtendrás un dedo y medio, dos como mucho, color marrón, muy cremosa, preciosa, aunque no durará mucho (ni falta que le hace). En nariz es tan compleja como deliciosa, notas de uva madura, jerez, ciruelas, vino tinto, cacao, madera, vainilla... En boca me ha enamorado desde el primer trago, cuerpo completo, robusta, densa, oleosa, profunda, rica en matices, desde notas dulces de fruta madura (uva, moras, ciruelas rojas...) hasta contenidamente amargas y torrefactas (Chocolate negro, café, pan tostado, cacao puro...), en su desarrollo el trago ofrece incluso ciertas notas de humo . La evolución a lo largo de la cata es notable, tanto en nariz como en boca, conforme toma temperatura se acentúan los matices de madera y los notas de fruta madura adquieren tonos aun más dulces y licorosos. El postgusto es afrutado, ligeramente agrio y largo de cojones. Ojo, es tan intensa que puede llegar a saturar, lo que es indiscutible es que es un cervezón y una puta delicia, digna de disfrutar al menos una vez en la vida. Ideal para noches de calma, distensión y humo lento...

Bottled. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, prunes, wood, chocolate, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, alcohol, prunes, wood, chocolate, and wood, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Too boozy for me - but a lovely complex beer.

A lot of orange peel. Roast. Black pour with decent head and lacing. Decent finish. Too oily for me, and too much in general. Lots of barrel and booze. Tap at Aslin 4th.

Negra con espuma tostada que no tarda en desaparecer. Aroma a maltas tostadas, fruta madura y caramelo. Sabor ligeramente dulce sin llegar a ser empalagoso, notas licorosas del paso por barrica, cramelo tostado. Final con ligera preesencia alcohólica, notas a madera, maltas tostadas, notas torrefactas. Densa y cremosa al paladar.

Vast een mislukte batch of zo. Niet ok

0.33 bottle. Almost no head. Bourbon vanilla/soy sauce aroma. Amazing silky flavor, sweet Sherry flavor from the Pedro ximinez barrel. Great to share a bottle between about 4 people with dessert. Yes!

Bottle. Oily black color with beige head. Aroma is wood, a bit ash, soy sauce, dried fruits. Taste is raisins, dried red fruits, a good amount of PX cask influence, light roast, ash and burnt wood, thick berry syrup, a touch liquorice, a bit diabetes. Very creamy, thick mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation. The aroma is a bit too soysaucey for me, but the taste is really great, albeit cloying.

Sample at SBWF 2018. Black with a minimal head. Sweet with dark malt, dried fruit, some licorice and soy sauce. The body was almost full and the finish quite long.
