Bottle at Sune. Cloudy red brown coloured with a small off white head. Sweet aroma of caramel, dried fruits and chocolate with notes of liquorice. Sweet flavour of caramel, dried fruits and wood with notes of chocolate. Sweet and woody finish.

Bottle. Pours a brownish amber color with a small off-white head. Has a roasted malty caramel and hoppy aroma with some weak hints of chocolate. Smooth slightly roasted malty caramel and molasses flavor with some dry woody hints and some hints of hops. Has a dry malty caramel finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

(22oz bottle, courtesy of BMan1113VR) Pours a hazy amber-brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of coconut, toffee, citrus, maple syrup, caramel, dates, and brown sugar. Flavor of roasted malt, grass, cocoa, toasted nuts, and raisins.

Bottle at Sune’s - Thanks Mr. Johnson & Mr. Nielsen. Clear brown - offwhite head. Roasted, wooden, oakey, licorice, caramel, sweetness, raisines, dried fruits, chocolate, nutty. Nice.

Tap at DLD 09 ... dark black ... sweet roast ... toasted malts ... sweet little cherry ... bit rough ... toffeee nose... little vanilla

Ugly brown. Kind of muddy. Toffee nose isn’t very appetizing. Toffee body with lots of wood. It’s a somewhat lame strong beer with no discernable character other than the palo santo and I don’t find that the underlying structure is either attractive on its own or in combination with the wood.

Opaque black - brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate with a little fine carbonation. Minerally freshness but the malt tastes a little tired, still smooth though. Slight barrel vanilla with a hint of fruit underneath. Tangy. Quite a minerally crisp finish. Decent beer but was expecting more from these titans!
