(On tap @ CBC 2016 Blue Session, Copenhagen) Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is quite sweet and smooth, molasses, sweet grape and raisin, dark fruit, low roast. On the tongue, very long on raisin flavours and short on roast, though not as sweet as the nose. Quite fruity, red grapes in syrup, toasty burnt crackers, dark malts, semi-sweet turns fairly dry on the finish with a little toast bitterness, short finish and aftertaste. Lightish watery body for style with low carbonation. I feel like this was maybe a bit cold even though I tried to warm it, but it was was a lot less rich than I expected. Not bad.

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2016. This one has a deep dark brown colored body, small soft sidesticking brown head. Smells mainly bourbon and wood. A little boozy, some dark chocolate and a little licoroce. Nice. Tastes more more balanced than the aroma. Not boozy at all, but warming. Thick and oily in the mouth and it's just below average on the prickling carbonation. Chocolate burnt, a little acidity. Coffee perhaps and a little sweet marzipan in the aftertaste . Like it. 13.05.2016
