Bottle. Aroma is crazy and amazing, roast, bit of funk, bourbon barrel and lots of cherries. Little bit meaty too. Taste is similar. Cherries first, with a touch of sourness. Then the roast comes, smooth, dark chocolate. Finish is a bourbon barrel fade. Really great and very drinkable. Smooth! Great to have so many flavours in a 7.4% beer.

2015 bottle into a tulip showing pitch black and a finger of cherry red tinged latte colored foam. The nose shows pronounced notes of smoked bacon and hickory. The palate is medium bodied and extremely carbonated. Mildly tart with moderate intense flavours of smoke and bacon with a mid palate of dark chocolate. Finish shows intense smoke and light dark chocolate.

Bottled. More or less black colour with a small beigeish brown head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is cherries, some liquorice, mild toasted and wooden notes as well as some slight ripe fruitiiness to it. Flavour is ripe fruits, cherries, quite tart wood, some liquorice and mild roasted/toasted notes. A bit on the sweeter side of things. Whatโs not to like in a beer like this...

Draft at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2014 - Session 4. Pours brown with a foamy, tan head. Nice stuff, with pleasant cocoa character, burnt marshmallows. Moderately sweet, with notes of dark bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, with further chocolate, dark malts, impressions of dark fruits. Lovely beer.

0.33l bottle. This is a deep and dark brown looking one with a really nice dense lacing and almost everlasting brownish top. Smells absolutely lovely. Rich deep dark cocoa with sweet milky chocolate, lots of woody vanilla and fudge like brownies. Absolutely lovely. It has a almost cloudy feeling in the mouth this. It's not sweet or cloying at all, if anything slightly dryish but balanced as heck. There's mineralish chocolate here, dry cocoa powder, some wood and a nice general toastiness all the way. A lovely lightdrinkable fruity stout creation I'd gladly drink again. 09.08.2014
