Dark Inception 2 is a refined blend of hazelnut and toasted coconut that elevates our premium, bourbon barrel aged stout Epilogue. The nutty flavors add complimentary notes of honey, almond and chocolate that harmonize with the smooth, nuanced notes imparted by barrel aging.

(Draft at Akkurat, Stockholm, 10 May 2025) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with treacle, dark chocolate, espresso, a touch of smoke, hazelnuts and caramel. Malty, roasted, vinous taste with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, treacle, hazelnuts, coconut and a balanced coffee bitterness in a finish with a slightly boozy touch. Full body, quite sweet. Rich, tasty and powerful. Very nice.

On tap at Akkurat, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is rich, with lots of coconut, bourbon, and a bit of toasted hazelnuts. Flavour is extremely rich, with lots of dark roasted malt, huge bourbon, and only little bits of coconut and hazelnut. Quite boozy but the bourbon and roast are really powerful. Excellent.

Can. A black one, with a small tan head. Lightly oily pour. The aroma has lots of lovely coffee, with a good boozyness, roasted malts, some cocoa and nuts, hints of prune and raisin, a vague coconut touch and hints of leather. Luckily the boozyness mellows a bit after some aeration. It's warming on the palate, full-bodied and with a light sweetness and a good bitterness. I think I'd like a tad more sweetness though. Lightly creamy carbonation. The flavor too has a good dash of booze, with roasted malts and lots of coffee. Leather, coconut, Brazil nut, hazelnut and pecan, some cocoa and a vague hint of salty licorice. Long warming finish with lots of dark flavors. It has mellowed a bit since first trying this beer around half a year ago, but I think it would be wise to store it even more. Still a delicious, big beer though. 231003
