Bottle provided by Borresteijn. Thanks man! Pours jet black with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet roasted with sweet whisky notes. Oak and chocolate. The flavor is sweet roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla and oak. Dark berries and dry sweet finish. Great. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A black beer without head, only brown bubbles. Aroma is very intensive and powerfull, lots of salt liquirice and roastiness, some berries, sweetness and whiskeybarrel. Taste is also powerfull, lots of roastiness, salt liquirice and turf, balanced sweetness. In the afterteste turf and slightly smokey whiskey is more exposed. Surprisingly light to drink, only medium bodied, almost without carbonation. Intensive, beer and barrel are balanced, but still something is missing.

33cl. Bottle. Poors clear almost black ruby read with no head. Aroma alcohol, licorice, sweet, toffee, roasted malts, whisky Taste vanila sweet, warming alcohol, little choco bitter. Mouth-feel oily, creamy. Nice BA IRS.

(bottle) pours a deep black colour with a brownish tinge and no head. spicy aroma of floral hops, plums, cherries and lingonberries, caramel, chocolate fudge, tobacco and a hint of green apples. flavour is mostly the same, with a slightly diminished fruitiness, lots of caramel, treebark, dark chocolate, a light hint of alcohol and lots of oak in the slightly empty, medium-bitter finish. very thick body with almost no carbonation.

Black of color with a beige head. An aroma of leather, liqurice, roasted malt, sweets, prunes and weak alcohol. A flavor of liqurice, prunes, sweets, roasted malt and an oily texture in the begining.

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.

330ml bottle. Pitch black colour with no head, just a few bubbles stick at the bezel. Dark malty aroma with typical whisky notes in the background: vanilla, leather, shoe polish. Taste is moderately sweet dark malty, some treacle, notes of vanilla, leather, some warming alcohol in the finish; flat carbonation. Nicely balanced BA notes, not overdone, sadly slightly insipid.

Clear black colour, slight tan head. Aroma of coffee, bourbon, whisky, caramel, wood, vanilla, smoke and chocolate. Quite sweet flavour, coffee, bitter coffee, malts and liquorice. Finish liquorice (drop), wood and whisky.
Nice!!

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. .★★★★

Bottle. Aroma of salt, bog, smoke and seaweed. Taste is salty, with some licorice, wood, vanilla, tar and lots of smoke.Truly a hardcore beer. To be shared by many.
