A bold and brooding imperial stout aged in alder wood smoked whisky barrels.
Taste: Very full-bodied and powerful. The initial alder smoke flavor is balanced by sweet chocolate, nuts, and dark toffee. The finish reveals a pleasant warmth of alcohol, leaving a gently spicy glow in the mouth.
Appearance: A dark brown beer with a small but well-retaining brown head.
Nose: Delicately smoky, sweetly chocolatey, with a hint of tobacco. In the background, a slightly tart coffee note can also be detected.
Malts: Pilsner, Red active, Rye malt, Caramel 150, Caramel 300, Chocolate wheat, Carafa special T-3
Hops: Azacca

Opaque colour, steady brownish head. Smoked ham aroma. Full-bodied. Toasted, plenty of ham smoke, same time way too sweet. TCBW 2025.

330ml bottle, kindly shared by Finn. The oily pour reveals a covering fawn-coloured head, scattered lacing and a near black body. Peaty smoked aromas, scents of caramel and mid-sweet chocolate. Rich and smooth taste of vanilla chocolate, wood, and syrup. Prolonged ending, smoked and roasted. Full bodied. Lovely. ( Tromsø, 07.06.2025).

Draught at Lauter, small bubbly head, opaque extremely dark brown colour, aroma of whiskey, dried fruits, caramel and dark bread, extremely sweet, dates, whiskey and a bit of smoke and burned sugar, with the alcohol showing. Nice and highly sippable.

Tap at BPBW 2025. Blackish body, off-whtie head. Dry, smokey, peaty aroma. Sweetish peat-driven smokey taste, ending dryish. Simplistic notes, thought it was well made enough, but too peaty for my tastes.

On tap at MBCC 2025 (Yellow session), pours black with a small tan head. Aroma has tons of smoked whiskey barrels, wood, and medium roast. Flavour is much the same, with intense smoky whiskey barrels, medium roast, smoked meat, and wood. Lots of smoke and whiskey. Excellent.
