Bottled. Pours opaque black with a medium sized, beige and short lasting, beige head, that leaves a good lacing. Aroma of slightly roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla and whiskey notes. Sweet flavor that ends up with some alcohol. Medium to full bodied, creamy texture and flat to soft CO2. A deliceus and smooth impy stout. .★★★★

From bottle at Haand Festival 2012. Black body, small light brown head. Aroma of whisky, coffee, roast. Sweet taste of roasted malt and whisky, spices, prunes and chocolate. Really enjoyable!

Pourd dark black with a small, frothy tan head. Aroma of roast dark chocolate malt. Medium body, quite creamy sweet, low carbonation, flavour is a bit vinous with some roast malt. Dry but sweet aftertaste. Nice change from the usual Emelisse barrel aged versions.

A wonderful concoction. Smells sweet, with molasses and a hint of toffee. Tastes very sweet, with a small bitterness, and a feeling of honey. Some dark berries, a black currant perhaps. Texture is silky. Mildly cloying finish. Very little carbonation. I could drink this as a desert for quite some time...

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a pitch black with a tiny brownish head. Subtle roast aroma and some distinct whisky notes. Rich body, low carbonation, heavy roast and thick barrel accents. Rich boozy finish. 271212

Bottle. Pours black with a partly lasting and medium lacing small creamy tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, brown sugar, licorice, peat, whisky, vanilla, dark fudge, herbs, butter, soy, booze and oak. Taste is heavy sweet, heavy bitter, a little salty. Body is full, texture is thick/creamy, carbonation is soft. Finishes sweet and with much heat and gets astringent in the far finish. Quite pleasant this one. I’ll have to look for the other B.A. versions.

bottle from ABCBeers. No head. Clear dark amber pour. Lovely beer! Nice aftertaste

Bottle at t’Arendsnest. Completely black, small head. Delicious vanilla and chocolate aroma. In the mouth traces of orange in addition to vanilla, coffee and chicolate. A late-night treat.

Drückend weich-malziger Beginn mit geringer Süße und angenehmen Hefenoten. Süffig, vollmundig, zum Ende intensiver werdend, stimmig, der Alkoholgehalt ist nicht erkennbar. Gut! /11/12/12//12
