330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 9%. Black colour, moderate to small and creamy tan head. Aroma of roast malts, coffee, bourbon whiskey, vanilla, chocolate, liquorice and oak. The flavour has the same elements, also a fruity hint of prunes. Recommended!

Can @ home. Pitch black body under a fine beige head. Aroma has dark, roasted malt, dark chocolate and some slightly boozy alcohol. Taste starts like sweet, dark roasted malt and dark chocolate, but then after a few more sips it does not feel so sweet anymore. The alcohol seems to make the beer dryer and the chocolate taste like very dry, dark chocolate. The bourbon flavor is moderate, but the alcohol sting is quite distinct together with some vanilla and wood. I guess this is not the first use of this bourbon barrel. Its not bad, but it might need some more sweetness to balance the alcohol.

Dark brown. The aroma has a slight fruitiness, and some mild sugars. There's something unique in the aroma but I'm having trouble putting my finger on it. On the palate, it's actually a bit light, and fair bit of fruitiness. This is pretty good.

330mL can, pours black with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out moderate roasted malt, subtle bourbon, and some dark sugars. Flavour is full of roasted malt, no trace of bourbon, and some dark sugars. Very European-style impie. Pleasant stuff.

Poured from 330mL can (canned Sept 2021; no 06510/13000; courtesy of Rune). Very dark brown with small beige head. Mild roast, some fruity notes, mild bourbon underlay. Okay.
