With one of northern Europe's largest barrel cellars, we have a lot to choose from. For Batten Down The Hatches, we have hand- picked and tasted our way to a full-bodied, tasty and harmonious imperial stout. Cognac and aquavit from the barrels shine through easily, and help enhance the feeling of exclusive confectionery.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark brn/blk with a slight, transient dark tan head. Aroma of bourbon, whiskey, chocolate and more. Not quite full bodied. Flavor is the aroma with a hint of anise and some wood. Drier than many. Moderately bitter. The flavor is complicated and very nice.

Jeg skalker lukene og åpner denne 0,33 flasken fra postordrekatalogen, og deler den eksklusivt med meg selv uten unnskyldninger eller bekymringer. Nesten helt svart med kort skum. De vidunderlige tonene av eksklusive lakrissjokolader, edel cognac og Livets vann spiller helt på lag med Tokyo String Quartet (Beethoven på stereo'en), og smaken varte forbi tredje sats av nr. 5 i A-dur.

Bottle. Pours inky black, small brown head, good lacing. Aroma is really roasty. Molasses, anise, brandy, ashes, peat. Flavor is medium plus sweet, light plus bitter. Full body, soft mouthfeel. Interesting

Bottle #2581/7500. Black, looks thick, edge of light brown foam. Big smell of roast, wood, spirits. Creamy, rich body, with some subtle yet sharp carbonation, boozy. Taste is rich, decadent. Roasty fades into quite sweet, chocolate, then cognac and spice.
