Bottle @ TFODRBSG, Ulfborg. Black with a brown head. Aroma is sweet, roasted malt, chocolate, cocoa and bourbon. Flavor is quite sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and roasted bitter finish. 180812

Bottle, 22oz, at TFODRBSG 2012. A firm, dense, light tan head forms over a black body. Some curtains left. A bit weak on the nose maybe, but what’s there is lovely. Chocolate, some coffee and roasted malts, and a touch of booze and vanilla. Full-bodied, warming and soft on the carbonation. Lasting, warming finish. A really lovely one, looking gorgeous, smelling and tasting really lovely, and with lots of moreish-ness. If I’m to be a bit negative, I think it’s a bit too much on the warming side. 120818

Bottle shared by alexsdad06. Poured a dark reddish brown color with an average frothy light brown head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate toasted chocolate malt, coffee and bourbon alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy toasted malt sweet flavor with a medium complex bourbon dark malt sweet finish of moderate to long duration. Standout complex brew.

Excellent.

Pour from a waxed bottle acquired in a nice trade awhile back. Black in color with a brown tan rich looking head. Aromas are of oak and bourbon. Very smooth and rich on your palate with that medium body characteristic of the style. Very complex flavors. First vanilla, chocolate, caramel, and roasted malt. Further on the coffee and mild bitter notes kick in. Alcohol is there but not too strong. The finish is nicely dry and long lasting. Really tasty beer and happy to try it.

Big thanks to nickd717 for opening a bottle of this at the Bruery RS Post-Party. Thanks again Nick! Served into a tasting glass. A - Pours deep brown with a nice tan cap of head leaving light lacing down the glass. S - Quite earthy all around. Oak, chocolate, and plenty of dark roasted malt help balance some of the boozy smell. Pretty smooth overall. T - Very earthy with hints of oak, chocolate, licorice, and some brandy? Not as much heat as I was expecting but still a bit hot. Lots of roasted malt in the finish that dries the pallet and lingers for a short period of time. Good balance but the body is lacking a bit. M - Medium body with heavy flavors and moderate carbonation. Nice warming feel with plenty of dark roasted malt in the finish. A bit on the thin side toward the end, it could use a bit more body department. D - Pretty easy to drink. Not the best barrel aged porter I have ever had but nowhere near the worst. I liked this one and I would love to try some of the other barrel aged hill farmstead offerings someday.
