Bottle 50cl. @ home.
[ Trade by Papsoe ]. Clear dark dark black color with a small, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, beige head. Aroma is heavy malty, roasted, caramel, strong soft coffee, smoke - peat, alcohol - whisky. Flavor is heavy sweet and bitter with a long long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is creamy, carbonation is soft, finish feel is moderate alcoholic. Very nice ;O)) [20091006]

50cL bottle. Pours pitch black with a one finger thick, chocolate brown and creamy head. Aroma is fruity and light wooden. Roasted malt and light liqourice. Dark chocolate and coffee. Smooth roasted malt flavoured, light sweetness, dark chocolate and rather fruity hops note. Mild vanilla wooden note, nothing special though from the barrel aging. Not the first time a rather complex and towards perfect beer really doesn’t gain from being put on barrels. Smooth and warming finish with lasting hops fruity and roasted malt flavoured finish. Rather complex - yet some of the juxtapoint experiences from the base brew is mashed/blurred together from the barrel aging. More dominant alcohol burn.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of wood, roasted malt, whiskey, and alcohol, as well as light notes of vanilla. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of roasted malt and alcohol, as well as medium notes of whiskey and wood and light notes of soy sauce, leading to a very dry, roasted, alcoholic, whiskey, and woody finish.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a pitch black with a light brown head. Hard roasted malts in the nose with a vague whisky note. Solid body, hard roasted sweet malts and vanilla. The dextrose is not so prominent in this Mikkeller impy. Hard roasted malt finish. The whisky accents are a little too downplayed. 030410

Tasting at Papsø
Black color; small-sized brownish head. The aroma is not strong, burnt malt and light alcohol; roasted malts come out later; light coffee and roasted nuts. The mouthfeel of this one is slightly more oily than usual, also helped by the additional alcohol feeling; chocolate and dark caramel flavor, with hints of tobacco, coffee and liquorice. Strong bitterness, with very light alcohol presence too in the end. Solid but not impressive.

Bottle in Odense - shared with Mette, Janis & Douglas. Pitch black - brown head. Burned, oakey, wooden, nice hoppy, coffee, chocolate, sharpness, high smoothness, whiskey, light alcoholic, licorice, tartness, vanilla, fruity. Nice.
