Deep garnet with no head. Wonderful nose. First sip was smooth but there is a ton of alcohol as well. What’s all the fuss?

Jul 26, 2008 Bottled. Hazy redbrown color, short head. Aroma of raisin, port wine, liquor, very fruity, madeira. Porty taste, alcoholic, raisin, very full. Strong, but balanced. Not an easy drinker, but still I would love to drink this more.

Jul 21, 2008 Bottle @ DTS. Raisinny porto notes, hint of armagnac in the aroma. Dark chocolate and oak in the flavor. Slightly alcoholic, vinous, brandy, raisin, Great complexity, exceptionally balanced. A great sipping beer. Thanks jbrus, for sharing.

Jul 20, 2008 Incredibly good and glad I was able to try a bottle (thanks Walt). Pours a dark brown with almost no head. Nice aroma of some dark fruit. Amazingly smooth, and incredible at hiding the 11.5% ABV. Absolutely delicious. Although the bourbon is ranked slightly lower, I think I liked it a little more.

Jul 19, 2008 Dutch tasting session Bunnik. Bottled. Opaque, brown head. Aroma of malts, port, liquorice, really nice. Very complex flavour, again the malts, vanilla, port and who knows what other stuff. This almost does not taste like a beer anymore. I’m stunned, this absolutely fan-tas-tic. I’d love get my my hands on more of this, but it’s probably impossible to get around here. Thanks for sharing jbrus.

Dark nut brown color, small tan head. Aroma of vanilla, fruits and whiskey. Whiskey, vanilla, licorice ... some CO2 in the finish. Very liquerish and warming. Lovely, balanced, delicious beer. Beer for slow drinking.
