8/10
Can @ Patricks. Dark brown body under a small beige head. Aroma of dark malt, vanilla, caramel, wood, Bourbon and some dry fruit. Taste is quite sweet with same elements as found in aroma. Well balanced alcohol considering the high ABV. Barley wine on the border of pastry.

Pale cloudy yellow beer as pineapplejuice with a medium, white head. Dry leaves, lunaria, unripe nectarine, certain creepers, asafoetida, limepeel. Asafoetida, dry hay, dried nuts, again citrus/limepeel. I'm getting lactose somewhere - sugar that isn't really sweet. Medium bodied, hopoilslick, bit dry, good carbonation. Decent if not remarkable.

Hazy yellow colour, small white foamy head. Aroma is citrus, some mild coconut a bit pineapple and some herbs to it. Flavour is kind of similar, but also has a slight bitter touch to it. Smooth.

Jeg er (som både mine nærmeste venner og to sønner vet) diagnostisert med RBHD (Repetitive Beer Hunting Disorder), og da er det godt å ha venner som Flaskepostmester Cunningham! Herlig aroma i den viskøse utskjenkingen. En konfektpakke av flytende, mørke dessertchokolader akkompagnert av kakao, kanel og myke toner fra fatlagringen. Velkalibrert bitterhet i avslutningen. Life is Good.

Nose is faint, spicy, flavor is roasted malt, a bit of caramel.
Finish is short, bitter, with a hint of caramel.
Solid amber ale 😍

Bottle shared with Marko. Black with pretty much no head. Aroma shows off the blackberries with obvious bourbon barrel notes, chocolate, vanilla and toffee. Flavour is heavy sweet.

Bottle, huge thanks Kermis for sharing! Pitch black body, fleeting head. Lovely cocoa notes in the aroma, low beeries underneath, sweet, caramel, light vanilla, not much alcohol. Sweetish taste, cake-like, some dried figs, cocoa, black currants giving it some sourness but restrained enough. Working nicely, not too much warmth either - a reasonable amount. Smooth, lean, drinkable.. weeellll, we have a winner!

400ml, draft.
Pours jet black, with thin, dark-beige, quickly diminishing head.
Nose is a dominant coffee, flavor is also dominated by coffee, but also roasted malt and a bit watery.
Low carbonation, with a faint coffee finish.
