Bottle shared by Jan & Charlotte when visiting Ulfborg on our holiday. Great to meet up! --500ml bottle 420/2000, bottled 1/28/21, thanks so much J&C! -- Opaque dark brown to black color, average to decent sized brown colored head. Aroma is malts, whiskey (rye whiskey I guess), light vanilla, liquorice. Flavor is malts, roasted malts, a slight note of burnt malts in the background, rye, cocoa, rye whiskey, booze, distant dark raisins. Very nice!

500mL bottle 807/2000, 1/28/21, drunk 11/11/22, thanks, TJ. Inky black, unclear, large tan head immediately to ring. Rye and chocolate, nutty grain, vanilla and caramel. Really well-balanced with excellent barrel character. Lots of rye, quite dry, alcohol isn't hot but does cut the texture. Yeah, the barrel probably cuts the texture a bit too much, leaving it rather thin. Hard to believe a 13.1% stout could be thin, but there you have it. Lots and lots and lots of nutty, spicy rye. I wonder if using the rye and buckwheat made for less extraction and thus less maltiness. Whatever the case, it's too thin and whiskey-heavy.

1/28/21 bottle 807/2000 aroma is rye, signature stout base with hint of tobacco. Taste is nice, slightly thin but full of flavor. Nice stout.
