375 ml bottle, pours black with a light brown head. The aroma is pretty complex, with chocolate, caramel, apples, white wine grapes all coming together and just about balancing, the balance between the malts and the bittering hops is great and this makes the white wine’s job a bit easier. Palate is fairly thick but very drinkable and the finish is dry and well balanced.

13-APR-2013, bottle @home, from Mikkeller & Friends Bottleshop. Black with a high brown head. Aroma is sweet roast wood, a little tart, coffee. Taste the same. With alcohol, sweet roast, wood, and more and more white wine as it warms. Also more roast. Very full body and medium carbonation. Fine stout. The white wine barrels do add something but not in your face like some of the others.

375ml bottle at BrewDog,Birmingham.26th march.Good looking black pour with a smallish sized stable tan head.Heady aromas of roast malt,coffee,booze,chocolate and a little wood.Dark roast fruit and malt flavour with chocolate and coffee too.Alcohol also in evidence with some vanilla and wood.White wine was only really hinted at both in flavour and aroma.Very tasty enjoyable stout.

Bottle split with IGT at BD Camden, 19/03/13. Dark black with a frothy tan head that eventually dissipates to edgeing and a swirl. On initial pour this looks the bollocks! Nose carries dark roasted malts, wood, booze, chocolate, whiff of coconut, molasses, sugars. Taste comprises dark fruits, raisens, dark malt, grapes, chocolate, booze, wood, ash, tar. Full bodied with fine carbonation lending towards a dry boozey finish. This ticks most boxes although falls short of being a great for me!

I like you, Betty.

Bottld. Pours with a pitch black body and a large, tan head. Nose of dark fruit, roasted malt , coffee, chocolate, roasted, malt , wood and liqourice notes. Sweet flavor withva slightly bitter finish and alcohol notes. Oily texture, full bodied and soft CO2. An excellent impy.

A - Dark brown-black with a finger of frothy chocolate colored head. Fades at a normal pace. S - Dark chocolate and dark caramel malts, roasted coffee, molasses, black licorice, oak, vanilla, white wine, some dark fruit, and some booze. T - Dark chocolate and sweet dark caramel malts, roasted coffee, black licorice, molasses, oak, white wine, vanilla, and some dark fruit, some citrus and pine hops and a bit of bitterness, and some booze. M - Full bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth with a warming and sweet finish. D - Nicely balanced big imperial Stout. Nice body and mouthfeel. White wine adds some nice depth and complexity.

That great looking wide mouth green glass 37.5cl bottle pours with a nice and pitch black body that supports a two inch tall mocha colored head of foam. I’ve forgotten just how tremendous this beer looks. The aroma offers up lots of inviting toffee and then coconut and white wine before a faint spicy oak like tartness is noticed. The taste is rich creamy and complex and similar to the nose. I get toffee and chocolate and dark roasted malts and some light caramel notes mixing with semi tart wine notes that lean more and more toward a white wine like tartness into the finish. Great balance, complexity and the white wine and oak play well against the roastiness.

Very dark with great tan head and lacing. Bit of sour smell and taste some chocolate and alcohol. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Taste alcohol and coffee and something sour. Smell is like the taste. Sipping beer. Don't like initially but it grows on you. Better warm. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
