UPDATED: DEC 19, 2021 Can consumed Saturday 18th December 2021 on a Zoom chat with Scott and Mandy. We had Chicken Satay and Sweet and Sour Pork and Rice.. Pours black the head which was a good size disappearing in a nano second. Cocoa and light coffee on the nose but not picking up too much of the barrel ageing, is it Bourbon, I think so. Smooth creamy mouthfeel, mostly roasty, barrel ageing is now noticeable, an ever present sweeteness, there is coffee and bitter dark chocolate, warming from the alcohol, a little burnt sugar.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2021 Keg at Craft Beer Calling, Newcastle upon Tyne. Near black with a brown head. Nice caramel flavours and lots of smooth maltiness. Very quaffable for the ABV.

UPDATED: NOV 21, 2020 Pours black with large brown head. Coffee, wood, hazelnut, ash, blackberries, dark chocolate, some peat. Full body, oily texture and flat carbonation.

UPDATED: OCT 13, 2020 Black with a short lived medium light brown head. A cocoa aroma, some coffee and burned malt sense. Sweet with a strong coffee and burned malt finish. Bb 08.2021, bought Vinmonopolet Tromsø 09.2020

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2020 Tap at Beergeek Bar. Pitch black, lasting tan head. Enormous, insane coffee aroma, a bit rough though, vaguely washed-out, some mild dried figs. Chocolate indeed in the taste, lovely praline/truffle chocolate mixing with the solid coffee notes, which are out of tune at times and beautifully mixing with the chocolate craziness at others. If the coffee aspect was better and not earthy, strongly so at times, this would be a strong 4+, like this... Less so and still excellent.

UPDATED: SEP 18, 2020 Black coffee, brown bread crust in aroma. Black beer with a little brown head. Coffee, black, bitter chocolate. Medium body, medium carbonation.

UPDATED: SEP 16, 2020 From tap @Pien Brewpub, Helsinki. Poured dark brown in color with a tan head. Nice aroma of strong coffee, roasted malts. But also some earthy notes and beetroot aroma as well as in flavor. Overpowering as it warms up a little. Needs rerate, not very good now.

UPDATED: AUG 27, 2020 On tap at the stadsbrouwhuis. Pours very dark brown with little head. Aroma is nutty, lots of coffee, some chocolate, a bit of roast. Medium to big body. Flavour is malty and rich, loads of coffee and chocolate. Hazelnut is long and lingering. Beautiful beer!
