Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Black, small beige head. The nose is domimated by homemade chocolate sauce. Sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Chocolate sauce and caramel, warming alcohol in a lightly woody finish.

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with short tan head. Aromas of chocolate nougat, graham cracker, sweet bourbon, vanilla, spicy oak, and slick roasted malts. Rich flavors follow same with additional coconut, dark fruit and dark caramel. Peppery finish but not really giving away 15%. Maybe 14.9. An after dinner liqueur. Wonderful.

Bottle. Black color with beige head. Aroma is big chocolate and vanilla, caramel, intense and luscious, some roast. Taste is solid bourbon barrel, slight adstringent roasty bitterness for balance. Medium carbonation. Thick and tasty!

Bottle (from Alko web). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is chocolate, some roasted tones with mild wood and some oak and mild herbs. Flavour is chocolate, roast, some mild liquorice and mild vanilla and wooden tones with a bit alcohol sweetness. I must say, for being 15 % alcohol is really nicely hidden, though it shows a bit. Kind of old schooly vibes to it.

330mL bottle, pours jet black with a small tan head. Aroma is full of somewhat smoky bourbon barrels, some chocolate fudge, and molasses. Flavour is very rich and sweet, with intense bourbon barrels, plenty of alcohol, brown sugar, molasses, and caramel. High residual sweetness but it's tolerable with the bourbon and alcohol. Very tasty, somewhat brutal, decadent treat.
