Fra fat på Bishops Arms i Ørebro 23 Jun 16. Svart. Mokkafarget skum. Aroma av lakris & nøtter. Smaken nøtter. Intenst søtt bourbon-preg. Alkoholen merkes ikke. Utmerket øl - men kanskje litt monotont.

At Craft & Draft. Lightly lacing, pale greyish beige, moussy head, black robe with burgundy hue. Aroma of mocha ice cream, toffee, cocoa, leather, cappuccino, caramel, beef stock, liquorish, some vanilla. Candied sweetness in the onset (but nothing cloying) balanced with basic roasted barley sourishness, hint dried banana, soft carbo, more or less resinous, oily, supple mouthfeel, nutty and toasted malt bittersweetness with both caramelly sweet and coffeeish bitter aspects to it, peppery hop ’sting’ in the finish with warming, bourbon-like alcohol. Nice!

Sample at SBWF 2015. Black with a small tan head. Aroma and taste of roasted malt, licorice, some wood, dark chocolate and dark fruit. The body was almost full and the aftertaste was long and dry. Tasty.
