Boreft Beer Festival 2012. Near black with a small off-white head. Complex aroma of licorice, dates and cherry, a faint smoked note and some vineous whisky character. Sweetish roasted and malty flavour with a fruity touch

On tap at Borefts Beer Festival, Bodegraven, Netherlands, Friday 28th September 2012 Pleasant barrel aged beer with chocolate and more accurately dark chocolate or cocoa powder showing. Whisky is noticeable but doesn’t get in the way, some vanilla and a pleasant smoothness set this apart fron many other rather raw and crude barrel aged efforts. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

On tap at Borefts 2012, Bodegraven. Pours deep brown with a fine, off-white bubble head. Good dark bread nose with sturdy whisky character. Medium sweet flavor with some dark fruits, dark toasted bread, definite whisky barrel. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderate whisky character to finish, nice smoked malts, very subtle chocolate. Exceptionally well balanced beer, and impressively nuanced given the relatively low ABV.

Draught @BBF’12: Dark brown to black colored beer with no head. Smell bacon, meat, flowers, some malts and smoke. Taste is smokey with hints of coal, campfire, wood, roasted barley malts. Aftertaste is very smokey. Low to medium carbo, watery mouthfeel, medium and pretty thin body and a watery texture.

On tap at Borefts 2012. Pours black as Coke with a small tanned head. Aroma of sweet caramel,nuts, coffee and port. Taste is smooth and inviting, light smoke,vanilla,liquorice,tar and leather. Almost flat carbonated. Very nice.
