Tasting at Papsø
Dark brown color, almost black; huge head, frothy. The aroma has strong chocolate, and old coconut (strange), more than the Bourbon. Creamy mouthfeel, strong roasted malt flavor, evident alcohol warmth; too much roasted malt in the end, not enough chocolate or sweetness. I kinda like it because it’s different, not because it’s specially good.

Bottle #05 I would guess the 5th Anniversary. Pours out a dark brown almost black with a nice head. Aroma was of light vanilla and bourbon along with some rich malts. Taste much more of the barrel. All of the bourbon, malts, and vanilla.

Bottle. Deep brown, approaching opaque black, body with a tan head, mostly diminishing. Strong bourbon aroma and taste that mutes much of what else is in this beer — hints of roasted malts, sweet caramel, vanilla and oak. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and lightly bitter. The taste of bourbon and alcohol dominate, but the notes of caramel and roast leave a slight earthy taste in the finish. The velvety/oily texture turns watery in the finish. Medium body with very light carbonation. Nice beer to sip on, but like so many bourbon-barrel beers, it’s more about the bourbon than the beer.

Bottle: Medium depth brown with a modest tan head. Aroma is up front with bourbon and backed by roasty malt and chocolate. Flavor is sweet with bourbon, chocolate, roast, and little hints of vanilla. Very smooth and well balanced. Just a bit thin on the palate.
