Bottle from Beerlover_Ben @ RBBWG 2015. Many thanks! Light sweet and malty. Notes of grapefruit and pineapple. Bit weak, but hoppy bitter finish. Ok IPA.

Lagavulin barrel aged edition of Aupa Tovarisch, tasted at ACBF. Looks the same as the regular version, dense deep beige head over a black beer, and has the same delightful candied fruits, roasted coffee beans, pure chocolate and spicy notes in the aroma; the same sweet and rich onset, dates, espresso-like roasted bitterness paired with a deep bitter chocolate character, liquorice touch, thick and even more vinous mouthfeel than the regular, with a clear yet not too obnoxious presence of woody tannins and the Lagavulin single malt booziness in the finish. Probably the best Spanish beer I had so far...

At ACBF. Creamy, deep beige head, black colour; sweet heavy stout character, raisins and candied dates, chocolate sauce, liquorice, coffee; sweet onset, very thick and rich, candied fruits, deeply chocolatey, spicy notes, liquorice, long complex finish of coffee- and bitter chocolate-like roasted malts, spicy hop touch and some warming, sherry- or bourbon-like alcohol. Really impressive, especially considering it comes from a country which has seen its first real craft breweries only very recently.

Draft sample @ ACBF’15. Noire foncée, col blanc-cassé. Arôme est malté, caramel et chocolaté avec une belle sensation de douceur et un léger rétro-nasal houblonné. Palais est centré sur les malts, note épicée avec un profil assez euro surtout das les malts. Notes houblonnées ajoutent cette pointe d’épice. Le tout reste conséquent en alcool avec un fini chocolaté et réchauffant. Ce fini tire un peu sur le doux avec une impression dark crystal.

Bottle sample @ ACBF 2015. Noire, col fin blanc-cassé voire moka sur un léger doré au verre et un filament huileux. Arôme est malté sur un côté boisé bien présent, ce dernier donnant qcq notes de tourbé avec un accompagnement fumé modéré. Le côté whisky reste un peu en retrait. Palais est accentué vers les 11% qui sont bien présents. Je trouve un léger résiduel boisé avec un petit côté vanille qui est accompagné par des notes de tourbé. Malt au caractère caramel, pâle et chocolat.

Sample draft @ ACBF 2015. Dorée, col blanc. Arôme est simplement divin au niveau des houblons, fruités, note de pin. Palais est comme un jus de pin, saveur de forêt avec un résiduel huileux. Malt reste tout de même présent quoique en retrait. Retrouve aussi un léger côté tropical. Pour une Pale ale, le malt reste cependant très discret et à seulement 3.5% c’est fortement et audacieusement bien buvable.

Draught Dark cream to ochre head over black beer. Resin, peated whisky, pine forest or -branches. Very dry, liquorice, liquorice gums, bit salty. Finish has spices and some hops. Obviously very well-bodied, alcoholexplosion backthroat. Peating is not over the top, just good. Still not exceptional I.S.
