Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma is fairly strong marzipan and blueberries upfront. Lighter chocolate and roast notes with hints of bourbon and oak. Light alcohol spice. Pours black with a medium sized, thick, mocha head that recedes somewhat quickly to the edges where a thin film lingers. No lacing and moderately long to long legs. Flavor is very sweet with a ton of chocolate, dark caramel and sugar. Lighter blueberry and almond notes. Medium bitterness and medium light roast notes. Faint bourbon and oak with some medium light alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, the aroma on this is nicer that the flavor where sugar and caramel sweetness dominates. It gets a bit better as it warms and the palate adjusts to the massive amounts of sugar, but this is still a beer that is difficult to drink more than a couple ounces.

Bottled. A black beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of bourbon, chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of sweet with notrs of roasted malt, blueberries, alcohol, and chocolate, leading to a dry alcoholic finish.

From a bottle. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of almonds, bourbon and oak. Flavors include some blueberry sweetness along side the sweet caramel malt flavors. Much better than I expected.

Growler thanks to Rainer. Pours a very dark brown with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong marzipan, berry, wood, spice. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, nice sweetness, boozy finish, very good
