Rating from 2008: Der Schaum ist schön rötlich-braun, der Geruch voll und süß mit Rotweinanklängen. Der Antrunk ist cremig-süßlich-vollmundig. Der Hauptteil wird malzig-interessant: Röstmalz und eine interessante, schwer zu beschreibende Note - aber irgendwie kein Portwein. Leicht ins süßlich-dunkel gehende. Schwer. Der Nachgeschmack ist langanhaltend - hefig-mild und röstmalzig-intensiv.
Gut abgewogenes Herbe-Süße-Verhältnis. Interessantes, aber auch sehr leckeres Bier! --> 13+10+13+13 = 12,40

(Cask at King William IV, Leyton, London, 21 Nov 2013) Black colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, coffee and black rye bread. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark chocolate, coffee, dark bread, prunes and a dry finish with a generous roasty bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Well made and highly drinkable stout. Nice one.

Bottle shared with friends. The aroma is big rich boozy alcohol, raisins, molasses and marmite. The flavour is medium sweet with a big malty wood liqourice alcohol palate. Full bodied with an oily texture and no carbonation at all.

Cask during the Mikkeller Tap Takeover at King William IV - London. Pours clear, amber-russet with a light, white film cap. Deep, well aged fruits on the nose, some brown sugar, heavy figs and dates. Big sweet flavor with mellow wood, brown sugar, rich bread, dark cherries, massive dates, figs, hints of chocolate. Full bodied with soft, fine carbonation. Warming finish without being hot (impressive given the ABV) with moderate toffee and tons more dates and figs. Very decadent and dangerously drinkable. Well done.
