Dark brown coloured body with a thinnish tan and light brown head that fades quite quickly. Aroma of lactose, vanilla, oak, grain, anise, canella, allspice and a dose of chocolate noticeable near the end. Relatively light-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavours with a big dose of chocolate, lactose, oak and even light cherries with a heavier flavour from the alcohol and spices with a dose of anise and grain with a relatively strong and thinnish alcohol and earthy finish with some cognac and brandy noticeable at the very end. Aftertaste shows some alcohol, a ton of sugars from lactose and fruit flavours with a dash of spices like anise and allspice with some lighter touches of earth, peat and light oatmeal also come through. Overall, a fairly good smelling and tasting beer at first, but the thinness is a big factor as well as the complexity which draw away from this one entirely. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Pear Delicatessan in Seattle, Washington [state] on 18-February-2016 for US$5,40 sampled at home in Manassas, Virginia on 08-August-2018.

Black, thick and oily pour, almost no head. It needs a few minutes to develop, but there is a good aroma of dark chocolate with some Bourbon. Good body strength; dark chocolate flavor, a bit too much salt and liquorice, with traces of Bourbon.
Not cohesive.

Draft pour pint at Skagit River. A time carb, clear copper pour with a rock foam head and lacing. Sweet and bitter caramel aroma. Flavor is quite bitter, but I can’t hate on a bitter for being bitter. Soft spice, some lemon, somewhat metallic, cool finish. Not bad.
