Weicher, mild süßer Beginn. Etwas Kaffee, mild herb, cremig, weich, zunehmend Kakao. Süffig, was angesichts des Alkoholgehalts schon speziell ist, intensiv, mittellanger Abgang mit deutlichem Espressoaroma. 10/12/10/10/9/10

Pint can pours with a near clear deep mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up plums and dates moving toward a bit of chocolate and malts as well as sherry like boozy spirits. Nice. The taste is smooth and slick where the sweet dark fruity esters are integrated nicely into the sherry port and supple smooth bourbon notes. Another sip reveals a thin layer of chocolate and a faint sense of caramel. Well integrated and balanced between world class beer notes and the barrel treatment.

16 oz. can, pours jet black, tiny head. Nose has some spirit-forward, fusel-y alcohol-tinged bourbon barrel character, dark sugars, and molasses. Flavour is rich, with intense bourbon barrels, dry roast, molasses, and alcohol. Dry, bourbony, spirit-forward—more so than usual for AleSmith. Dry, nicely boozy, but well-integrated. Excellent.

Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a decent creamy tan head that didn't immediately disappear. Aroma of dark Kraft caramel with a hint of coffee. Full bodied. Not dry but avoids sticky. Some balancing bitter. Flavor is that dark caramel, some coffee, and definitely salt. Interesting flavor combo. Minimal heat. Good stuff.

Slight haze, aroma is crazy, hoppy, barrel, on the palate, bright orangey, rum rounds it out, not even complementary flavours but it works. Damn.

Reddish-pinkish, no head. Big, bright schaarbekse on the nose, quite promising. Tart, lots of bright cherry, not super complex but that’s a fantastic cherry character. A bit thin in the finish. Some woody accents.

Pale pinkish, thin white head. Vanilla, a bit of cinnamon. Kind of tart, light cranberry, again more vanilla than I’d prefer. Not bad but not my thing.
