Bottle shared with Craig, cheers to Craig and also to Jan and Charlotte who gave this to Craig I understand, Had this at my gaff, on third night of tasting 10-04-10 Pours black with a beige head. A wonderful but total confusion of flavour’s, fruity, woody and grapey flavours combine amusingly with the more intense dark, roasty and bitter flavour’s of the base beer. Its great and the Bordeaux Barrel ageing seem’s to really slap the Imperial stout about quite a bit, its tart, dry, bitter then tangy, soft fruits, grapes again, quite lovely but and a fantastic mix up. I would never say this beer seamlessly works with the barrel ageing because it doesn’t but I like it for the hotchpotch of flavours it leaves in the mouth. A8 A4 F9 P4 Ov17 4.2

Thanks to Alex for the chance to try this! Inky pour. Can’t quite see through it. Big thick impy nose with lots of char and some light indistinct fruity notes. Big thick, charry, tarry with lots of alcohol late. Very burnt at times, but with lots of sweetness. Not hugely subtle. Dry finish for such a beer, quite woody still, but not as complex as it perhaps ought to be.

Bottled (thanks brunnsbe!). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is mild wine, some coffee as well as some slight alcoholic notes. Rather wooden as well. Flavour is quite much the same with very big time coffee and vanilla towards the finish and aftertaste. A bit sweet, otherwise a really nicely balanced barrel aged brew.

Bottle from Olbutikken. Black and opague. Vinous aroma with grapes, ash, chocolate. Full bodied. Complex yet alcoholic flavor. Vinous notes, ash, roast, grapes, dark chocolate, tobacco. Even some tartness from black berries. Layers of flavors come up and fade away slowly. Long alcoholic aftertaste. Great beer!
