Thanks stew. Clear black with a tiny head... just like the whiskey porter. Clean roasty aroma, gives more alcohol than the whiskey porter, fairly dry maltiness and a bit of bourbon sweetness balance quite nicely. Medium body, also feels alcoholic like they’ve added quite a bit of bourbon to the mix, I can’t figure out if I like the heat it generates or not.. its interesting. Otherwise its got some clean chocolate flavours with a touch of heat and bourbon aftertaste.

Bottle. Papsoes MadsBerg homecoming blindtasting, bottle #30. Pours almost clear and golden deep amber with a slowly collapsing tan head. Dense malt aroma with overripe fruit. Flavour is dark malt flavoured with a mild fruity touch. Quite light bodied. Holds smooth chocolate and mild vanilla note too. A bit oldish in flavour though. Ends with a mild roasted note, light alcohol presence and a subdued bitterness.
