I enjoyed this more than the nitrous pour with coffee. Nice standard thick and heavy IS with a good bit of whiskey flavor and alcohol imbued.

Pours unclear dark coffee with a decent caramel head, not much lacing. The aroma is my favorite part, brings roasted malts, oats, and some sweet notes, not quite chocolate more of the whiskey barrel and vanilla. The body is light for the style, thin. The flavors bring toasted malt notes and some bitterness.

Bottle 750ml.

Clear dark brown colour with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, chocolate, caramel, vanilla, light alcohol - whisky. Flavour is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a average to long duration, coconut, chocolate. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20120202]

Bottle: The aroma consists of dark chocolate, vanilla, light dark fruit, faint oak, and alcohol. It pours a dark brown, virtually black, with a thin brown film for a head. The flavor starts with chocolate and dark fruits. The finish has vanilla and light whiskey. Medium-full bodied with mild carbonation and a somewhat oily mouthfeel. Overall, a solid BA Imperial Stout with only subtle whiskey notes.

Beer very dark loads of flavor tan head a lot of whiskey in this one another great duclaw beer

Bottle at a recent tasting... Poured near black with a tan head. Typical roasty, chocolatey stout with hints of whiskey and barrel characters. Notes of vanilla, cookie dough sweetness and dark fruits. Solid.

22oz bottle. Poured a dark brown color, small creamy (and quickly dissipating) tan head. Aroma was dark chocolate, caramel, oak notes, alcohol. Flavor was dark chocolate, caramel, vanilla, roasted malts.

Bottle. Almost black, small brown head that settles to an edge. Aroma of dark cocoa with a boozy edge. Taste is rick, thick, chocolate and vanilla. Very nice.

(22oz bottle) Pours thick and black with a thin brown head. Aroma has strong whiskey and wood character, notes of coffee, and caramelized sugar. Flavor has a lot of whiskey, coffee; notes of licorice, nuts, wood. Very sweet malt and bitter roasted character. Full bodied. I’m not a big fan of the whiskey flavor, but that’s just my preference.

Bottle at Papsø’s - Thanks. Black - offwhite head. Roasted, sweetness, whiskey, berries, nice bitterness, licorice, light oiley, vanilla, lakridskonfekt, caramel, toffee, oakey, bourbon. Nice.
