Almost opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Mellow dark malts, mildly sweet and there is a light fresh milky sweet thing going on in the background. Nice light fruity bourbon finish. Well executed light BA stout.

Bottle 0.5l at home, Nivala. BBE 061216. Colour is almost black with small brownish white head. Aromas and flavors: Fruits, citrus, some pine, hops and malts. Soft and nice but probably very good as more fresh. Still enjoyable.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with small, creamy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, beige to tan head. Oaky aroma, notes of vanilla, white coffee, nuts, some leather, a touch of milk and almond. Taste is nuttily dark malty, some vanilla, oak, leather, hints of treacle, white coffee; soft palate, almost a bit too flat.

0.33 l bottle from ’Saveur Bière’, best before December 2016. Pitch black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of milk chocolate, milk coffee, vanilla and hazelnut. Rather sweet, malty and slightly roasty taste of milk chocolate, milk coffee, hazelnut, almond, vanilla and hints of oak, followed by a medium long, slightly roasty-bitter, a bit warming finish. Medium body, slightly oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Superbly balanced, maybe a tad too coy, very harmonic, pleasant and subtle barrel notes. Very nice!
