Sherry barrel aged limited version of Pime Öö.

Taste: Big and bold, this immediately makes the Pedro Ximenez felt. Luxuriously sweet, with a heavy presence of cherry and chocolate. The raisin character from the aroma comes through again, sliding down the tongue smoothly. Best enjoyed when sipped by a fireplace.

Appearance: Jet black with a brief ruby tinted light brown head.

Nose: The smell of dates, raisins, cranberries, and above all, sherry overwhelm the room. Blackcurrant jam, smooth chocolate, and a light toasted oak character come through later, whilst sweet malts and a hint of alcohol closes the aroma.

Malts: Pale malt, Munich malt, Special B, Crystal 300, Crystal 150, Crystal 200, Carafa type 2 special, Chocolate malt, Chocolate Rye, Oats

Hops: Magnum, Northern Brewer

330ml bottle at Battle of Bull, Cheras, Malaysia. Poured a completely black colour with a mostly lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, light caramel, light boozy alcohol, big red berry fruits. The flavour is moderate to strong sweet, with a smooth, rich, slightly oily, raisin, cherry, chocolate, light dry coffee, warm alcohol bitter palate. Full bodied with flat carbonation. Superb. The body and sweetness did a great job of masking the alcohol. Would drink again, but perhaps not this evening 😫

Bottle. A- Oak, sherry, dark fruits, vinous. A- Black color, black liquid, minimal brown head. T- Licorice, sherry, oak, sweet, char, mild blueberries. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- A bit sweeter than I expected. Pretty complex from the sherry which imparts a lot of sweet and slightly tart dark fruits. I like it a lot but not quite in love with it.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium size brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet black chocolate notes with some light liquor notes is pleasant. Taste is a mix of sweet black cholate notes with light notes of Xeres and light roasted malt with a sweet finish. Body is full with nice creamy texture and good carbonation with light warming alcohol. Solid barrel-aged stout but I was expecting more form the Xeres barrels.
