Can as Evil Twin Grand Cru, 12.5%. Black ,small tan head. Barrel and bourbon aroma. Bittersweet flavour, maple sweetness, woody, barrel and bourbon flavour. Heavy malty, caramely and slightly boozy. Good balance, low carb, nice sipper.

Burk från Glasbanken. Mörk, lite smutsig brunsvart med beige krona. Doft och smak av bourbon, läder, bastuträ, lönnsirap, tjärpastill, läkerol, lätt rökiga charktoner. Stor men inte massiv som tämjs av en tydlig fatkaraktär. Mycket bourbon och fin skjuts av alkoholvärme utan att bli för spritigt. Mycket mer barley wine än stout. Mer en lite mörkare, rökigare barley wine. Mycket gott.

(473ml can shared @ Nische's tasting, thanks Rickard!) Pours nearly black with a tan head. Notes of rather heavy dark malts with some roast, spent coffee, dark chocolate, maple syrup, soft bourbon, vanilla, quite sweet overall but drying rather substantially due to some wood and exposed alcohol. Medium-full body and soft carbonation. A bit more simple than expected and boozier than some stronger ASAs we had the same day. Decent but not as polished as Evil Twin can be, brewing location might play into it.
