Nov 21, 2009 (Bottle at Pikkulintu, Helsinki) Poured black with medium sized and brown head. Aroma contained burtness, liquorice and alcohol. Palate was full bodied and stinging with medium carbonation. Tasted of burntness, bitterness, lightly liquorice, smoke, ash and hint of sweetness. Burnt and ashy aftertaste. Aroma was bit unpleasant but otherwise a really good beer.

Nov 13, 2009 Close to black with a big greyish head. Aroma is concentrated bourbon and harshly roasted malt with notes of liqourice and alcohol. Mouthfeel is smooth with fairly low carbonation. Flavour is a concentrated bourbon assault that somehow appears alittle thin in flavour, a bit too concentrated and sharp with a sweet finish. Still the flavours that is present are rather nice.

Oct 25, 2009 500ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) - shared with Mirjukka and Janne
Black, small beige head. Straight to the pleasure centres with this one - butter and vanilla aroma. Low carbonation, smooth sweet palate. Alcohol alas comes through in the taste, but is otherwise a pretty rich burnt roast. Pungent hops make a show too. What the heck is this ’imperial/strong porter’ bullshit? Stop inventing non-existent categories.

Opaque black, steady brown creamy head. Aroma of coffee, bourbon, wood and vanilla in the nose. Full-bodied. Liquerish palate. Vanilla, wood, bourbon, roasted salted licorice. Many elements of recent trend beers. Long roasted, licorice aftertaste.
