| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 15, 2009 A Mes rate. Draught at 1st Borefts Beer Festival. Kaggen with some extra smoky notes. What is there not to like? Ok, maybe I do still prefer the original Kaggen but hell this is still a world class beer. Slightly more barrel and slightly more boozy feel than the regular, which is already a fairly fierce beast. Something very earthy about it too. Must be the peaty notes. Still has that utterly unbeatable velvet palate. Spectacular. Fin (3415), Merton, Oxfordshire, England

Not as smokey as I expected, but this is pure bliss, smooth chocolatey, quite wonderful beer. Can’t be bothered to put any more notes down suffice to say this is absolutely glorious stuff.

Pours a lightly muddy black with practically no head. Aroma is light peity, some oak, liqourice, softly roasted and dark chocolate. Low carbonation, fine oily mouthfeel. Flavour is soft, very light peity, roasted, oak. Very soft, but still a bit weird. skortila (2903), Bunnik, Netherlands
