3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(Bottle) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with black coffee, liquorice, chocolate, cacao and a touch of port wine. Malty, roasted taste with notes of liquorice, strong black coffee, cacao, oak wood, ashes and a fairly dry finish with a touch of port wine. Slightly sharp wood character. Almost full body, with a certain roasty bitterness. A bit different, but very nice.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle share courtesy of sebletitje. The bottle pours with a very dark body that supports a nice looking mocha head of foam. The aroma has rye bread to almost mild spicy oak, brown sugar sweetened oatmeal cereal and a modest degree of boozy spirits with kind of a red wine twang going on. The taste is rich and deep with dark roasted malts, malty body thickness, creaminess and then running into boozy barrel and almost a red wine like booze note. The red wine taste sometimes, oddly enough, comes across as a mix of spicy wood and baker’s chocolate nuanced by a faint grape flavor. On the palate this comes across as a big beer. This rates a "yum" from me!
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
37.5cl bottle from Systembolaget, Göteborg. Batch 245, BB 2022.
Brune, belle mousse crémeuse beige, le tout sur un doré au verre.
Arôme restitue le Porto avec un bouquet grains avoine laissant augurer une bière complexe et épaisse. Pointe de barrique restant en retrait par rapport au Porto, note de fruits rouges, céréales, pointe d’épices caractérisant l’usage d’avoine.
Palais est hautement épais venant de cet usage d’avoine. Le tout garde une belle note de Porto léger, touche de boisé avec un palais réchauffant ainsi que d’une fine aigreur boisée. Note de sucre candi complémenté par un palais et une fin de bouche très épaisse. Laisse un fini collant aux lèvres avec un résiduel levure couplé à la présence de porto qui ajoute ce côte vin rouge-sucré.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
0.375 corked and wired champagne bottle. A shade away from entirely black. Firm, lightly tanned head. Strong barrel notes hit the nose first, then a whiff of fortified wine, and tones of coffee-scented dark malts. Big body, fairly soft in the mouth. Vinous, roasty and distinctly bitter. Coffe, licorice and some wooden tones. Warm, nicely bitter finish. Good stuff.

Opaque black beer, good tan head. Softish semi dry palate. Rich malt - silky and barleywine like. Small amounts of roast and licorice. Nicely joined up red berry fruits from the Port Barrel, integrated very well indeed. Trace of hops before the semi dry finish. Lovely!
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Incredibly thick palate structure although surprisingly the flavours don’t really belt you in the face. Can almost be passed off as some sort of bitter PX! I wish I could read the commercial descriptor as I bet there’s some interesting beer making techniques going on. Heavy red wine-like aromas lead into some rich cooked fruits and some tangy minerals. Very good really and unique palate structure.
