Maybe age did this some favors based on the ratings but I loved it, tons of chocolate with hints of orange. Big barrel notes.

Pours black, small to no tanned head. Scent is pim coockies, orange and chocolate. Barrel is hidden. Taste is full, sweet, chocolate, sharp edge (towards nutty) from the orange. Quite pronounced on the barrel. Thick body, medium low carbo. Taste is better than expected, aroma really wasn't my thing.

200ml shared with Brian, Ryan, and Phill during MBW 2023. Whiskey, chocolate, weird fruity notes, boozy. Ok.

On tap at Peders, pours jet black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out messy, boozy orange, light cocoa and bourbon. Flavour is full of chocolate, orange and bourbon, with a hint of acidity. Nice blend of chocolate and orange. A little messy but very good.

Tap at Peders, Copenhagen (TTO Madness Warmup pre MBCC event, 29/04/2023) - black with a small ringed tan head. Dark sweet malty and light roasted malty with lots of opulent chocolate, just getting a subtle orange citrus fruity undertone surfacing, silky mouthfeel and full bodied, dark lingering citrus kissed bourbon laced sweet malty finish. Lovely.
