Bottle, directly from brewery webshop. Color: Pitch black, thin brown head. Aroma: Roasted malt, oak wood, vanilla hints. Taste: Roasted malt, quite a lot of oak wood, tannins, some mocha / coffee and vanilla. Very smooth mouthfeel. Starting malty, moderate to over moderate sweet, some hopbitterness at the finish. Over medium to full body, below average carbonation. Very nice and interesting to taste the results of proper ageing in a virgin American oak barrel.
