Can at the Hoperia Muhen. Pours black with no head. Aroma is rum, dark malts, booze, wood. Full body, sweet, fig, plum, dark malts, lots of sweet rum. Delicious BA impy.

0.5 l can shared with Marko and Ogi. Dark brown to black, minimal to small brown head. Alcohol on the nose at first, harsh. Solvent. Some chocolate, prunes, dried fruit and molasses underneath. Smooth, sticky, very thick, unbelievably full. Sweet molasses, some oak, coconut, dried fruit. All would be great if it wasn't so alcoholic. Sweet finish. A sipper. Very heavy. Unique in a way.

Can, shared with Hrabren and Ogi. Pitch black body, off-white head. Huge barrel aroma, big vanilla, minerally, cocoa, some alcohol and solvent, perfumey, nicely complex, but slightly rougher than expected looking at other ratings. Lovely taste though, fantastic combo of vanilla, coconut, Irish coffee and dark cocoa notes, fantastically creamy, with adequate warmth, but without alcohol taste. The aroma put me off slightly, but gotta admit - this is some tasty stuff!
