Beer of infinite density. Massive, rich coffee and chocolate flavour mingle with the vanilla and dried fruit. A beer to be shared and savoured. Can be cellared. Enjoy with (or as) dessert!

[Vintage 2021] 500mL bottle. Pours black with a beige head. Aroma has roasted malts, espresso, and a ton of smoky bourbon. Flavour has rich roasted malts, dark chocolate, espresso, all wrapped in nice smoky bourbon. Deep and rich, lots of good roast and well-complemented with bourbon. Excellent.

65 cl bottle (10,3%) @ Antitasting Vintage 2019 Aroma is somewhat mild with licorice and salmiac. Flavour has salmiac, licorice, herbal tones and mild coffee notes. Too salty for my taste.

Bouteille(11.6%, 650ml, vendange 2012, merci joss!): Literally black - what else? - with a small tanned and stable layer, robust bitter-sweet aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate with traces of tobacco(?), vanilla and mild wood in the background; solid - as expected - sweet-bitter flavour, full bodied and astonishingly soft; lingering sweet-bitter fruity-roasty finish with wanilla and vood and a warming port-vinous finish. A very pleasant night-cap...

Thnx to Dr. Beer. Pours Black, not-so-stable off white, small head. Smell is roasted, complex dark sugars, mild coffee-like roasty undertone. Taste is mildly bitter, very burnt, roasty, very, very distant barrel features, they build up a bit as the beer warms up. Some bourbon, mild vanilla. Bit of oxidation.

Totally oily black. No head. Smells like a marshmallow and vanilla pudding aroma. Very toasty with burnt oak and brownies. A bit of phenol finish. Toasty and crisp. Cocoa, vanilla. I get some banana and cream at the finish
