On tap at Pressklubben, pours a clear bright amber with a small white head. Aroma has soft tomatoey notes, Belgian yeast, and bready malt. Flavour is tangy, with V8 juice, some Belgian yeast, and more tomato notes. This is a fun idea but it just doesn’t work.

On tap at Man in the Moon, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of bourbon barrels, Belgian yeast and almost a port-like presence. Flavour has a nice bourbon character, earthy rye, some spicy Belgian yeast, and soft port character. Really nice barrel treatment on a great base. Excellent.

Bottle from HoTM. It pours oily jet black with a small brown head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, charred, umami, liquorice, dark chocolate, pipe tobacco, burnt toast, molasses, rocky road, whisky soaked oak, savoury and saline notes. The taste is slick, oily, thick, chewy, dark roasted malt, toasty, bitter - sweet character, fruitier than on the aroma, jammy fruits, bramble, tangy raspberry, dark chocolate, treacle, whisky soaked oak, slightly charred Dundee cake, warming booze and toasty brown sugars with a smooth whisky soaked fruit cake finale. Fulsome body, fine carbonation and slick mouth feel. Flavourful, rounded and unctuous.
