Aroma of whiskey, coffee and sweet, dark fruit. Sweet, boozy flavor, alcohol burn, roasted malt aftertaste, slight coffee ground bitterness of a stout to finish. A hint of spicy flavor. Similar flavor to barleywine.
A bit old skool , roasted, choco, coffee, alcohol, a bit thin texture, decent

(Bottle) Black colour with lasting, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, oak wood, vanilla, rye whiskey, liquorice, a touch of mint and herbs. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, crisp-bread, liquorice, mint, oak wood, vanilla, whiskey and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Really tasty and well balanced with a gentle wood ageing and a slighly herbal/minty touch. Great beer!

Bottle from Brewer's Haven, XXIII release. Nearly black pour with a nice tan head. Delectable aroma is sweet with chocolate and barrel notes, light roast. Tastes sweet with a light roast and modest barrel notes. About midway through I can pick up a little rye in the finish. Solid depth and layers of flavor, this is a winner.

Over-aged? Not aged enough? No clue how old this pint is, but I am sure it’s over-oaked. Woody bitterness and whiskey mix with roast and a rusty salinity. The barrel dominates. Not all that enjoyable.
