A deep red beer with a disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol, sweet soy sauce, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of chocolate, roasted malt, and sweet soy sauce, as well as hints of vanilla and coffee.

Sample from 16 fl. ounces bottle. Pours orange/amber red. Aroma is aroma hops with a touch of sweet malt. Taste is wellrounded taste of aroma hops and malt profile with sweet platform. has nice smoke note. Finish is soft malty with a touch of bitterness

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, dark brown with a vague tint of red and a small, light brown head. Very delicious chocolate aroma with notes of vanilla and bourbon. Smooth, rich body with notes of coffee, chocolate and bourbon. Very delicious indeed - yum. Courtesy of madsberg. 120207

Bottle. Clear brown coloured with a beige head. Roasted aroma of dried fruits, wood and vanilla. Sweet and roasted flavour of vanilla, wood and dried fruits.

Bottle. Very nice, sweet aroma, a lot of vanilla. Black colour, no head. Very distinct vanilla flavour and a very late vanilla aftertaste. Some alcohol is felt. Very nice for a while, but very rich. Great, though.

solid black, thin fine brown head that can be stirred up into producing a bit of lace that quickly dripps back down the glass, sweet bourbon aroma with hints of oak, vanilla, and chocolate, thick creamy velvet body, light sweetness, mild bourbon character that grows and blends well with the nice rich chocolate, nice roasted character that provides the light bitterness, eventually the bourbon takes over but is not out of control, hint of alcohol,

bourbon character is much stronger and induces a fruity character,

(12oz bottle, thanks kmweaver) Clear cola/dark brown body with small tan head. Aroma is moderately sweet, Bourbon/vanilla, bittersweet chocolate, light alcohol. Taste is moderately sweet, chocolate/cocoa, some vanilla, light caramel. Smooth medium-full body. At least at this point in the aging, the barrel aging is nicely complementary rather than dominant.

Bottled (Thx to davidP for the trade). Pitch black coloured. Dense light brown head. Sweetness, vanilla, light fruits and chocolate in the aroma. The vanilla barrelnotes not as distinct as in other ba beers. Same goes with the flavour. Quite balanced sweetness, roast and vanilla. Some choconotes. Is full bodied. Very smooth and easy to drink porter. A bit too smooth maybe. Definately a great brew, but I would love a little more edge.

Ein sehr eindrucksvolles Bier, das mich besonders durch den Marzipanartigen Nachgeschmack begeistert. Auch dieses Bier ist sehr voluminös und schwer zu beschreiben, man sollte so ein Bier selber mal getrunken haben. Im Mittelteil machen sich, kurz bevor das Bier ins marzipanrtige übergeht, auch noch Karamellnoten breit. Gerne wieder! Test vom 7.1.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,12,11,15,9,13 - 12,55

UPDATED: FEB 17, 2007 Bottle... GABF RB Tasting ’06...This beer rocks! ... Nearly pitch black ale (ruby, against bright light) with a mid-sized, creamy, tan head. Excellent retention. The aroma is a swirl of milk chocolate, vanilla and light bourbon with a touch of coconut. Tastes like a chocolate milk shake with a thimble-full of bourbon added. Sweet, but not cloyingly so. Full-bodied and silky with soft carbonation. Chocolatey, vanilla finish. World class beer! Thanks go out to MIBRomeo for sharing the bottle!
