Garún Nr. 19.2

Bottle through private import. Thanks to Phil. Chocolate aromas flavored with strong alcohol with fruity esters like cherries, prunes and raisins. Subtle notes of nougat, anise, molasses and caramel. Black and opaque liquid, without foam collar, leaving superb legs on the glass. Chocolate mouth entry with molasses accents, ending in an explosion of strong alcohol reminding cognac. The bitterness is intended to be earthy and roasted but is totally dominated by alcohol that persists trough finish. The body is at its maximum, well rounded, and its texture a little syrupy. Despite its exaggerated alcohol content, it remains quite complex. But it would be even more without. Arômes chocolatés aromatisés à l’alcool fort avec esters fruités aux accents de cerises, de pruneaux et de raisins secs. Subtiles notes de nougat, d’anis, de mélasse et de caramel. Liquide noir et opaque, sans col de mousse, laissant de superbes jambes sur le verre. Entrée de bouche chocolatée avec accents de mélasse, pour se terminer en une explosion d’alcool fort non sans rappeler le cognac. L’amertume se veut terreuse et torréfiée mais est totalement dominée par l’alcool qui persiste en fin de bouche. Le corps est au maximum, bien rond, et sa texture sirupeuse. Malgré son taux d’alcool exagéré, elle demeure tout à fait complexe. Mais elle le serait encore plus sans ce dernier. O:7.775 V:4.5 G:8.15 B:3.65 G:15.4 T:39.475

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a small dark brown foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of warming alcohol notes and black chocolate with light residual sugar notes. Taste is dominated by strong alcohol notes with some fusel notes and black chocolate with some alcohol notes also perceptible. Body is full with oily texture with medium carbonation and strong alcohol notes are perceptible. Too much perceptible alcohol for it’s own good and lacks balance overall.

Bottled. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, roasted malt, soy sauce, and wood. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, alcohol, soy sauce, and wood, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks.

Bottle@jens - Black pour with thin tanned ringed head. Aroma and taste is thick resonating malty with hits of chocolate prominence, some fudge, caramel, very oily thick body and mouthfeel, very potent and overt warming boozy into the finish

33 cl bottle. Pours pitch black with a small tan to brown head. Aroma is dense alcohol and dark roasted malty. Dense malty, roasted. Dsrk roasted and warming alcohol. Metallic. Dry and roasted. Lingering dark malty and burning roasted and alcohol finish. Too much.
