Thanks MikeTD for this brew. Very black, thin dissapating tan head. Aroma is soy sauce, licorice, caramel, chocolate, oak. Taste is chocolate smoke, toffee,caramel, whiskey, light alcohol. A lot of depth.

Aug 10, 2008 0.25 l bottle (2006 vintage) at SOPP2008, Helsinki. Pitch black color with small creamy tan head. Sweet aroma with plenty and vanilla and whisky, coffee and chocolate is more on the background. Rich flavor with bourbon, vanilla, coffee, chocolate, salty licorice and sherry. Very warming and a bit sharp palate. Excellent dessert but I prefer the ordinary stormakts porter as this is slightly too whiskyish.

Aug 9, 2008 (6/29/08) Bottle sample at RBESG08 grand tasting in Plzen. Black-colored with a brown head. Aroma of roasted to burnt malt, some sweet chocolate notes, cocoa and some coffee. Quite dry roasted-burnt flavor of malt, cocoa and a bit of dark fruitiness. Full-bodied. Looking forward to try a more proper sample of this from the bottle in my cellar.

Jul 31, 2008 (2006 bottle at SOPP) Black. Medium-sized bubbly brown head. Nose has got liquorice and chocolate. Full and bit oily palate with little carbonation. Liquorice, chocolate, coffee, sweetness, Finnish Easter pudding, vanilla and whiskey in taste. Long lasting aftertaste. Simply fantastic.
