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

Bottle. Black. Malt, roast, licorice, oak and sherry in the aroma. Full bodied. Sweet, very sweet, but with roast, honey, dried fruit, oak, vanilla and some sherry to compensate. Milk chocolate. Complex enough, but the overwhelming sweetness spoils a lot.

330ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Langnes. The oily pour reveals a jet black body under a shiny naked surface, and some dotted spots on the glass. Appealing aroma of sherry chocolate. Smooth flavour profile of sherry, oak vanilla, and chocolate. Lingering and warming finish, super smooth, of sherry and chocolate. Full bodied. Lovely slow sipper on a long Friday. (Tromsø, 19.04.2019).

4/2/19: Batch 329. Super sweet, but that was to be expected. Sweet sherry pairs surprisingly well with sweet base. Soft, warming, boozy, sweet, rich and yummy. Dried fruits (apricot, plums) and wood. Almost liqueuer-like, slow sipper. Syrupy, too sweet but great.

18/2/21: No. 168, BO 25062020. Glossy black, with a thin brown head. Smells very sweet, mostly stout'ish and a hint of sherry. Soft mouthfeel, with some alcohol in the throat, to remind of the ABV. Taste is sweet, woody, soft bitterness at the end. Tasty for sure!

At a tasting, thanks, smallish bubbly head, opaque black color, opaque black color, aroma of dark bread, chocolate, cakey maltiness and a hint of coal, flavor of chocolate liquor, cakey maltiness and cherries, dark raisins and a spicy whiff, very sweet . Too dominating PX character, nice but not too exciting.
