3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
375 mL green bottle. Nice looking beer - shows reddish where the light comes through. Spice in the nose, although not necessarily heat or smoke. In the flavour, the peppers really don’t show up until the end. Smoke shows up more as it warms. Chipotle is subtle. Good porter.

Tap. Pitch black with a small dark brown head. Aroma is dark chocolate, brown sugar, roasted malt, light toffee, oak, light ashy. Taste is medium sweet and bitter. Medium/full body, oily texture, soft+ carbonation. Big bodied for the abv. Medium sweet and light sticky finish with some bitterness and a light chili burn. The barrel aging mellows it out and adds to the flavour without dominating. Good.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Really rich aroma, mainly of chocolate. Some raisin, sticky brown sugar and coffee. Not much trace of the barrel. Taste is slightly earthy, the chocolate element comes through, coffee note and then a long subtle chilli heat to finish. Best beer I’ve had in a long time.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Kolsvart i färgen med cappuccinoskum. Doftar kaffe, chokladkaka, lätt grönsakston som dras åt chili, förväntar mig en kraftig smak. Smakar rostat och bränt, söt choklad bitter choklad, chokladkaka, kaffe, man får leta lite med vaniljen finns där. Chilin kommer smygande långt bak i munnen. Otroligt balanserad

Black in color with a small khaki head. Lightly metallic on the front end, but otherwise lots of roasted malt, chocolate, and spice. A bit of toffee sweetness, some vanilla, bourbon, and molasses. Not too much spice from the peppers. Nice earthy spice note to the flavor. Sweet toffee and vanilla, some bourbon, and a ton of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and coffee. A bit of licorice and some molasses, too.
