Poured from 650mL bottle (2021 release; 12.2%; I think that reads release #3, but may say 5) at my 39th bday. Very dark brown with small tan head. Mild espresso, feint green pepper, nice whiskey backing. Solid, despite the hint of green pepper. Courtesy of bolavens.

Bottle pour. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Dark roast, espresso, and whiskey barrels on the nose. Flavour has tons of rich dark roast with espresso and dry whiskey barrels. Rich profile, with nicely incorporated barrel character. Fantastic.

Optisch ein echtes Träumchen, schwarz wie Nacht, dunkler Schaum. In der Nase deutlich Schokolade und Espresso. Im Trunk wundervoll cremig, herb, Zartbitter-Schokolade, ganz wundervoll und gefährlich gut trinkbar. Top Notch!

Bottle from Beer Republic webshop Berkel-Enschot Netherlands, consumed at home Thursday 10th April 2025 after working out in the garden (lots of strimming work) we had Fish Fingers Chips and Mushy Peas for tea and we're watching Foundation on AppleTV. Pours black with a small tan head. The whisky is very apparent on the nose but combined with some chocolate notes a little caramel and booze soaked dried fruit. Chocolate in the mouth, a little bit boozy and warming but regardless very drinkable, there is also some caramel and dark fruits, it's v.nice.

2021 bottle drunk 8/11/23. Clear, dark, small, tan head, moderate-to-low retention. Nose is super easygoing, mellow, peppery and lead/salt-heavy bourbon. Chocolate, graham cracker, caramel, hint of toastiness and no roast or excess sugar. No booze. Easygoing, well-aged coffee with, again, no excessive roastiness. Soft, succulent, not quite sweet, great attenuation. Lead, salt, spice from the big, but mellowed, well-aged bourbon. Lots of chocolate and caramel. No booze, low vanilla. Bourbon spice/acidity just balances effortlessly. Malty, but lighter in body, relative for the style. Elegant, lovely.

Bottle, 22oz. It's jet black in the glass, with a small dark brown head. Nice lacing. Intense aroma with roasted malts, some burnt notes, cocoa, dark chocolate, alcohol and a gentle whiskey hint. It's full bodied and lightly warming, softly carbonated, with a roasted malts kind of bitterness. Cocoa, roasted malts, bourbon, hints of raisin and milk chocolate and a good dash of delicious coffee in the flavor. Lasting coffee driven finish. Delicious indeed. Lovely. 230517

Bottle from Vinmonopolet, Lillehammer. 2021 release. Black with a dark brown head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and whisky. Flavor is very sweet and rather bitter. Dry and rather bitter finish with lots of warming alcohol. Oily. 100223
