Strange were the times when the Companion was summoned for the first time.
Its quest is that of time and stave. Its motivation? Breach the dark mind and set patience and repose as a true drive for complex barrel aged ales.

Intensiver malziger Antrunk, Himbeere, minimal röstig. Leicht alkoholisch, holzig, Vanille, sehr hohe Viskosität. Intensiv malziger Abgang, vielleicht einen Hauch zu süß. Ansonsten erheblich besser als die Bourbon Version. 11/12/10/11/11/11

Bottle ordered from Brew Cavern, Nottingham. Aroma is rich - nutty dark fruit cake - with s boozy Bourbon edge. Dark and glossy - like blackgaze on vinyl (note: this is bullshit). Foamy tan head disappears like a virgin at a Black Mass. Flava is again rich. Fruity and doughy. Nutty. Dark chocolate. The barrel aging is less imposing than the aroma suggested but there is a boozy bite. As I drink more it somehow gets sweeter and boozier (presumably there's a basic explanation but I'm slouched on the sofa with the button on my jeans undone to reduce the pressure on my gut so I can't be bothered to think about it). Medium-heavy bodied. Oily. Average carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Long aftertaste. Enjoyable but a sipper.

--Bottled, from Beerdome. -- Very dark brown, no head. Aroma of caramel, coconut, raisins and rum. Very sweet with full body and rounded, sticky mouthfeel. Syrup, caramel, port and rum. Very potent and warming.
