Our most anticipated Vintage Series release is back— XXI is a rich, chocolatey blend with smooth caramel, creamy malt, and a hint of island spice from rum-aged Helldorado. A perfectly balanced, evolving brew that’s best savored slowly.

My California rate # 1000 - Dark brown with off white head - Dark malt with dark fruity aroma with barrel aroma as well - Malt body with a dark fruity barrel flavour with some vanilla notes and some alcohol heat - The dark fruity flavour with wood and alcohol goes into a long lasting finish - This was real good

Flaska från systembolaget via något år på vinden. Doftar choklad och fudge. Smakar kakao, läder, rom, bourbon och torkad frukt. Len munkänsla.

Bottle @ RateBeer 100 for 100 event. Brown light beige head. Whiskey aroma w marzipan, grapes, light spices. Sweet and boozy with no bottom end. Plainish bready malt, some chocolate. But mainly boozy barrel. Not a huge finish apart from oak. Don't know whether this is just too much barrel for me or whether the arse has dropped out of it.
