Keg at If It Ain't Dutch, Bermo. Pours dark brown with beige foam. Huge peaty bastard. Rich, unctious, dried fruits, toffee, caramel. Medium body. The peatiness overpowers all. Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's up my strasse

Bottle at home. Aroma is dark roasted malt, oak, peat, salty liquorice, salmiak, whiskey, burnt rubber, hint of dark chocolate. Flavour is medium sweet with some roasty bitterness in the finish. A little boozy. Body is above medium. Very heavily peated and oaky Impie Stout with a strong liquorice flavour. Not my favourite variety of BA Stout, but certainly enjoyable with a strong flavour.

Bottle at home. Aroma is strong liquorice, roasted malt, coffee, oak, whiskey, chocolate, touch of ash, vanilla, hint of hops. Flavour is sweet with a roasty bittersweet finish, slightly boozy. Body is full. Pretty heavy on the liquorice, sweet, fine job barrel aging. Much more enjoyable than for example the Port Charlotte.

Bottle at home. Aroma is strong grapes, lots of white wine, big oak, malt, touch of ripe fruits. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter with a very dry finish. Body is medium. Barrel notes dominate this Saison. It’s pretty good for sure, but I’d wish for a little more balance between Saison and BA.
