Draught at Ølbaren, Copenhagen
Black color; big creamy head. Strange aroma, a bit soapy, and light banana. Creamy mouthfeel, moderate roasted malt flavor, and chocolate, a bit boozy, but not necessarly with wiskey. Correct bitterness level, but at the end is more aggressive. Strange, but nothing spectacular.

Dark brown with no head. Aroma had roasted malt, caramel and coffee and chocolate. Flavour was sweet with burned malt, chocolate, caramel and tobacco. Slight woody whiskey notes towards the end.

On tap at Copenhagen Beerfestival. It’s a next to black beer, topped by a small beige to tan head. Roasted, coffeeish nose wtih some alcohol, smoke and peat, and there seems to be the faintest note of DMS too. Sweet flavor with coffee and roasted malts, some bitterness too. Full-bodied and slightly warming, at least it’s more warming than I would expect from a 7.5% beer. Nice bitterness in the finish. A rather lovely beer. Rating: 7-4-7-4-15-3.7. 090515

Bottle. A clear, dark reddish brown beer topped by a creamy tan head. Lightly peaty on the nose, in a whisky-ish way, some vegetal notes in the back. Much lower levels of coffee aromas than I remember. That goes for the flavor as well, which is more in the direction of bourbon than the scotch felt in the aroma. Roastedmalts, licorice and a faint dms note too. Some bitterness blending in towards the finish. Full-bodied. A quite nice beer, but I think it would be better with scotch instead of bourbon. 091016
