UPDATED: MAY 5, 2013 Hard to be objective, I love this beer. Bought bottle from Barleywine CPH, 2012. Intense Imperial stout, chocolate, caramel, molasses, dark fruits, rich and thick. In it’s richness and intensity, it reminds me of Dark Lord. I wish I had another bottle.

Opaque black - brown beer. Small dark tan head. Smooth palate with some presence. Very moderate carbonation but what there is is sharp. Silky dark malt with coffee bitterness and dryness. A little brandy and unsweet chocolate. Smooth semi dry finish. A rich brew but possibly should have a left if for awhile.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Opaque black liquid with small tan head. Aroma of licorice, chocolate, wood, raw sugar, raisins and cognac. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with notes of raw sugar, raisins, chocolate and wood. Full bodied with low carbonation and very viscous mouthfeel. Nice.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
0.33l bottle from 2011. It wants out of the bottle this! It’s quite dark and really oily on the pour, actually as good as black in color and the head is really big, dark chocolate-brown and quite good looking. On the nose there are tons of things going on. The dominating aroma is actually something spicy and salty soy sauce mixed with licorice, chocolate, heavy roasted almost burned malts, some alcohol, wood and used matches. Quite deep, complex and really interesting. It’s soft to average on the carbonation, and it has a thick fat oily mouthfeel. It’s quite sweet this. Much more than the aroma lead me to beleive. Chocolaty-sweet, almost cloying with honey, quite warming and stingy with booze. Prickling cognac alcohol flavors with some salty licorice in the background. It’s really brutal this! Used the best part of two hours on this little bottle. 28.12.2012
