16 can shared by Chalumeaux, Thanks TJ! Aroma is a butt load of nutmeg and cinnamon. The chocolate gives almost a slight cake batter note. It also finishes on the large amount of spice found in the aroma. Mild barrel. Good but a touch heavy handed on the spice.

Thanks Clark. Nutmeg and more nutmeg. Taste is cake batter, nutmeg, barrel notes and cinnamon in the finish. It kinda grows on you as you keep sipping it. Really nice.

Burk från Side Project, 2022. Tjock, kolsvart med nätt mörkbrun krona. Kryddigt med kanel i förgrunden. I smaken kryddigt inledningsvis, med kanel och muskot, går över i en rejält chokladig botten med vanilj. En del fat och ek. Mycket gott och snyggt, utan att kryddigheten tar över.

Draft. A- Cinnamon buns, vanilla, chocolate, nutmeg, oak. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Cinnamon buns, vanilla, chocolate, baking spice. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- Wow, this was insane. Big and rich but not overkill sweetness. More like a Mole stout without the heat. I got a huge cinnamon roll flavor with a chocolate icing. So delicious and drinks like 5%.

Can. Pours black with thick tan head that lasts. The aroma is strong cinnamon, dark chocolate, wood, vanilla, bourbon. Slick body, heavy spice, boozy, strong cacao and dark chocolate, very nice.

Can, best before March 2023, drunk 2/12/23. That seems like a ridiculous BB date, but most are, I suppose. Inky, somewhat viscous, unclear black. Initial tan head fades immediately to nothing. Nose is definitely well-spiced, with nutmeg and cinnamon quite prominent. Dark chocolate, treacle and oily roast behind concentrate the malty stout character and there's some barrel character adding more spice and richer, savory whiskey notes, pleasantly. Not boozey, not sugary, balanced and rich other than the somewhat overly nutmeg/cinnamony character. Thick and viscous, though short of being too sweet. Richly malty with good whiskey character adding spice and savory strength. Soft and malty with pleasing acidity and balance, but we do have to talk about the nutmeg. I get it's a holiday spiced beer and as such they wanted the nutmeg to come through, but it's still just too much, in my opinion. If I'd waited another 3-6 months, this would have been insane. As is, great barrel character, pleasing sticky, viscous, malty texture and good balance with little/no alcohol.
