33cl bottle from hopt.it. Pours pitch black, with fine brown foam. Aroma is intense of coffee, dark chocolate, figs, molasses, nutty. Body is fairly dense, with low carbonation. Taste is markedly sweet, with a bit of acidity and some hidden bitterness.

Short-lived cream head over almost black beer. Minus 1 point for the wax. Chocolate, woodpulp, nuts, alcohol & fusels. Caramelized apples, faint but obvious sweetness suggested. Drier as expected however in the mouth, again chocolate, cacao, fusely. Full bodied, alcoholheat. A bit harsh, but less sweet than the cognac aging would have warranted. Thanks to Stef!

Bottle at a tasting with the RB boys. Fully malty, loads of chocolate, dark coffeeish roast. Hints of cognac, not very woody. ABV hidden pretty well. Relatively easy drinking, Dried fruits. Pretty good.

330ml bottle from the Farmers Bar, Puchong, Malaysia. Poured a clear black colour with a short-lived frothy tan head. The aroma is roasted malts, red berry fruits, raisins, plums with notes of oak and light boozy alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet and liqourice bitter, with a big roasty, dark chocolate, light coffee, red berry fruit, warm alcohol bitter, light sweet honey palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Really nicely balanced and that touch of honey in the finish made this beer complete. Awesome!
