Dark opaque black color, small steady brownish head. A bit oaky, bourbon aroma. Full-bodied. Roasted, a bit smokey, light tart notes, wood and earth. Barrel-aging has not gone 100% ok.

Black color, with generous compact brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, a bit ashy, and some cardboard. The mouthfeel is very smooth, it has a good body strength too; strong flavor of roasted malt, with a nice creamy touch, lactose, very light liquorice, light malt sourness; strong bitterness, also because of the black malts, but it seems that there is some good hop behind; the final is a bit too ashy for me.
Halfway between a Porter and a Stout (not chocolatey enough), but with bold character, and dynamic.

Pitch black color with generous brown compact head. Aroma of roasted malts, firewood, smoke. Full bodied, with a lovely smooth mouthfeel; roasted malt flavor, some dark chocolate, some smoke; layered feelings; quite strong bitterness; it never becomes too ashy, and it’s well balanced.
Excellent.

Hazy amber color with medium sized head. It has some aroma of malt, caramel, dry, also some yeast and light spices. Highly carbonated; it has some caramel flavor, medium to strong bitterness, some residual sweetness that well blends with the light biscuity or toffee trace; there are some hop resins and subdued hop fruitiness, and a vegetable touch; not much of the promised cedar wood either; there is some yeast astringency in the final.
Pleasant but undaring.
