On tap at Mikkeller Bar - Vik, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out bourbon barrels, dark sugars, and dark dried fruits — that's rich and complex. Flavour is very intense, with loads of butterscotch, toffee, viscous syrupy notes, and some bourbon. That's a lot of butterscotch and burnt, dark sugars. It's a bit too viscous and butterscotch-heavy. Good but brutal and lacking elegance.

Black, small light brown head. Crazy dark for a barley wine. Cola nutty brown sugary aroma. Clean malts. Flavor is nutty, dark caramel, chocolate, toffee, Bar has it as barley wine, i would say its way out of style, tastes good though, mega thichk palate pastry barley wine perhaps.
