After brewing B.O.R.I.S. The Crusher successfully for many years, our creative minds wander. We imagine a B.O.R.I.S. brewed with even better dark grain - the finest imported dark grain - for a smoother and mellower deep-roasted flavor. When we finally made our dreams become reality, it was a symphony of beautiful flavors, a higher level of B.O.R.I.S. born from our creativity, that deserves the name B.O.R.I.S. Reserve!

Bottle at LKS - thanks to the host. It pours opaque jet black with a thick tan head. The aroma is rich, oily, toffee, dark roasted malt, cocoa, vanilla, rocky road and a touch of icing sugar. The taste is dry, bitter, charred wood, rich roasted malt, leather, tar, cocoa, warming booze and some dark fruits with a slick finish. Medium - full body and moderate carboantion. Rich and chewy stuff. Good fun.

Bottle shared in Hackney - sourced online. Pours black-brown with a small, creamy beige head. The nose holds well roasted malts, burnt malts, scorched earth, baking cocoa. Medium sweet flavour with well baked malts, baking cocoa, more earth, raisins, old leather. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Light warmth in the finish, some further ashy roast, bitter dark chocolate, dark malts, leathery berries. Good stuff overall.
