Black with a one inch tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, whiskey, vanilla, toffee, Taste is sweet, malty smooth roasted, smooth bitter and a light salty touch. Medium to full bodied, oily texture. Finish is sweet with caramel, vanilla, a touch of dried fruits, light salty licorice, smooth whiskey notes, soft bitter dark chocolate and coffee.
Quite a nice one, initially the oak and whiskey was a bit more pronounced than I would like but as it warmed it grow and was very smooth and balanced for being so intense.

On bottle from Vinmonopolet Aker Brygge. Pitch black color, good brownish foam. High aroma intensity; cocoa, choclate milkshake, vanilla, some Roastiness, leather , lighter dried fruits, cherries and port wine . Full body & complexity. On the sweet side, but balances well. The huge aroma picture makes it a very enjoyable beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Che birrone! Ciliegie, zucchero a velo, toffee, canditi, pan di spagna inzuppato di brandy, malto caramellato, vaniglia... Liquorosa, vinosa, dolce, rotonda, alcolica, di corpo medio-abbondante, vellutata... Peccato solo per il finale, piacevolmente amarognolo, che è più "corto" dell’atteso!

Bottled (backlog). Pitch black colour, mediumsized foamy beigeish brown head. Aroma is chocolate, some roasted malts, mild cacao as well as some liquorice and mild notes of alcohol. Flavour is liquorice, roasted malts, some chocolate and coffee along with mild ripe fruits and some alcohol to it. Thick and big, and actually rather tasty.

I was just lamenting the disappointing qualities of BrewDog’s top beer when I found this in my tickle trunk. And what a beer it is. Suave, slick, with a slight alcoholic burm this is the beer which should show the righteous the BrewDog potential. Restrained coffee, chocolate, smoothness and awesomeness. Fannytastic.
