COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
English: Smoked Imperial Stout aged on bourbon barrels. How the significant amount af “Ashtray Heart” found its way to the brisk bourbon barrels is to this day an unsolved mystery. Nevertheless, let’s not twist our minds with bizarre details when this beer is ridiculously choice and overwhelmingly corpulent.

watson1977 (1261) - The dub c, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 6, 2012
Pours black with ruby hues and a medium mocha head. Aroma is boozy with bourbon...notable smoke and a hint of dark fruit. Flavor has nice bourbony vanilla...not so boozy as the aroma...nice smoky dark fruits and mild tobacco notes. Mouthfeel is full and creamy and the finish is roasty/ashy and very warming...bourbony burn.

Beaucoup de chocolat enrobé d’un ecran de fumé massive. Arrière goût assez sec.

fiulijn (10421) - Como, ITALY - MAR 11, 2012
Draught at Ølbutikken, Copenhagen
Black color, the head reduces quickly. Nice aroma, not too strong, with nice chocolate, some roasted malt, light distillate. Strong body, round mouthfeel; very good chocolate flavor, with light residual sweetness, some leather, vanilla, more evident liquorice, and some alcohol in the end; light booziness in the final.
Bold, pleasant, quite balanced.

brew3crew (166) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - MAR 7, 2012
Black body and tan head that disapates. Smokiness on the nose is almost too overpowering at first. Kind of all over the place and a little to much must

jesperhammer (1531) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - FEB 27, 2012
20-FEB-2012, bottle @Michael warm-up before Simple Minds Concert:-), from "Ølbutikken". Dark brown, no head. Try a violent pour, but no. Brownish chocolate-like with some alcohol. Peaty boubon-like more than smoky. Strange brew. Not really a smoked. More like a brown ale on dope and bourbon. Really like it, though.
