Clear medium to dark red brown color with a small to average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, chocolate, dark berry notes, wood and whisky. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (220808)

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of over ripe fruits and a bit of oxidation, leading to a dry fruity finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a small orange glare and a fully gone head. Whisky like and roasted malty aroma. Flavour is sweet malty with a smooth chocolate base. Slight alcohol burn out of the roasted malt and chocolate flavours. Smooth yet warming but not without some edge to it.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Clear warm reddish brown with a small light brown head. Aroma of wood and whiskey. Quite full-bodied with sweetish roasted malts and a touch of chocolate. Smooth roasted finish without much bitterness. 220808

(12oz. bottle) Pours a dark brown body with a small beige head that quickly diminishes. Aroma of whisky, rye, ash, caramel, coffee, and roasted malt. Flavor of whisky, vanilla, chocolate, and caramel malt.

Bottle at home ... thanks to Brad for this one ... no black ... no head ... soft roast ...little coconut ... quite a bit of bourbon on the nose ... bourbon dominated ... cocount and roast malts ... little chocolate ... but bourbon is too much.

Cloudy dark brown colour. Big toffee aroma with some light rye notes. Soft, sweet body with interesting figgy, rummy notes. Way sweet, but beautiful luscious malts going on and on isn’t really a bad thing in my book.

Appearance: black, fine tan head, bits of lace,
Aroma: roasted malt aroma with a whiskey sweetness and a touch of spicyness,
Body: creamy body,
Overall: rich roasted malt favor, touch of whiskey sweetness with a nice dry rye character, touch of dark chocolate, good balance between the malts and the whiskey, as it warms the whiskey sweetness brings out more of the chocolate to take over from the roasted,

Bottle, shared by papsoe. A clear, dark brown pour leaves a small beige head. Mocha, chocolate, dried fruits, some vanilla and spirits and a little note of oxidation in the aroma. The flavor is on the mocha and chocolate side, with some oxidation and alcohol. Is there a touch of dms too? Medium body and a coffee-bitter finish. A quite nice one, and sure not a dirty old beer.
