UPDATED: JAN 14, 2020 Bottle. Black coloured with a small beige head. Roasted aroma of hops and chocolate with notes of peat and smoke. Sweet and roasted flavour of caramel, chocolate, smoke and peat. Roasted finish.

UPDATED: SEP 24, 2019 330ml bottle. Smoky, roasty and stingy with some leather, toffee, syrup and mudcake notes. Quite different compared to the regular one. Not nearly as good.

UPDATED: AUG 4, 2019 Bardzo ciekawy RIS. Masa wanilii, czekolady i wędzonki. Tak jak nie przepadam za wędzonymi RIS'ami, tak tutaj wszystko gra i smakuje. Zdecydowanie polecam.

UPDATED: JUL 17, 2019 Flaska provsmakning Bishops Örebro. Svartbrun vätska. Doft och smak av choklad, charkuterier, vanilj och kolasås. Mycket söt och krämig. Lätt sliskig.

UPDATED: MAR 27, 2019 Can I say... dark black? cos this is how it looks! 'very black', dark brown head and some lacing. Aroma of strong pecan mud-cake, with a touch of chocolate and wood. Tastes quite sweet, roasty, pecan, salt, chocolate, peat, wood, bourbon. Full bodied, viscous, thick and pasty, long finish with a savoury and smokey after taste. I personally love it!

UPDATED: MAR 3, 2019 (330ml bottle from Omnipollo webshop) Pours pitch black with a small short-lived dark brown head. Aroma of chocolate cake, salted pecan, peat, lightly meaty smoke, moderate bourbon, wood, cold brew coffee, roasted grains, touch phenolic. Flavour is sweet dark malts with a cakey chocolate and dark toffee core, lots of the Noa pecan nutty notes as well, some woody dryness, slightly burnt, with moderate smoke that is more peat than meat with an iodine saltiness and some oddly plastic phenolic component that is unfortunately distracting. Finish is dry, rather hot and fairly bitter with burnt grain, wood, nuts, smoke and phenolics. Medium-full oily body with average carbonation. The Noa core is still apparent here, but the barrel isn't so apparent beyond heat and the extra adjuncts are not improving things. Interesting but not awesome.

UPDATED: FEB 25, 2019 A 330ml bottle, bottled on 10th July 2018, and with a best before date of 10th July 2023. Poured into a snifter glass. It was a dark dark brown to black in colour with a half finger mocha brown head that dissipated fairly quickly but left some tiny spotty lacing. Aromas of chocolate, fudge, nuttiness (maybe pecan), smoky, tar, slight peat even, and caramel. Tastes of moderate sweetness, chocolate, roasted malts, smoky, smoked ham, charred wood. Finish was a little weird chemical / plastic-y. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Overall chocolate and roastiness was nice, the smokiness was ok, but somehow the mix brought out a chemical / plastic-y finish, which was not the end of the world, but enough to make me think that perhaps once is enough.

UPDATED: JAN 3, 2019 Pitch black color, small dark brown head. Aromas of chocolate sauce, bourbon, smoked meat, tar, toffee, vanilla and pecan. Taste of tar pastilles, smoked meat, chocolate, bourbon, alcohol and licorice. I kind of like it!

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2018 Pours black with low tanned head. Aromas and taste of smoke, caramel , chocolate, coffee, wood

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2018 Pours black with a moderate frothy tan head. Aromas of chocolate, vanilla, caramel, wet paper, smoke. Taste is chocolatey and roasted with vanilla and caramel notes along with smoky notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
