COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
NOTE! In the US this beer is marketed as Xbeeriment #44. The reason for this is that any references to President Obama would only be permitted by US authorities if we had a written permission from the White House. So the dressing’s changed, but the beer stays the same!

Also please NOTE that the first US edition of "Xbeeriment #44" is erroneously labelled 10.4% ABV.

English: Brewed to celebrate Barack Obama’s inaugural as the 44th President of the United States, and the first black person to hold the office. A potent stout with a fair amount of peated malt in the grain bill. This adds a smoky character to the beer which obviously also has roasted aromas from the dark malts and roasted barley as well as loads of citrusy hop notes from the US hop varieties.

Pours deep black with slight mahogany towards edges. Tan head with good retention recedes leaving spiders lacing. Mild chocolate aromas. Thick with dark chocolate and dark roasted espresso. Dry lasting charcoal and resin finish.

Expected 10.4% and got 7.7%. As such we were tasting this up against much stronger beers so the flavors may have been a bit muted in comparison. Lightly smokey and malty. Everything seemed a bit watery. Very drinkable but lacked complexity.

Ok so my bootle says 10.4 abv. Not 7.7 abv. WTF? Oh well, great sweet malty aroma. Lightly smoky. Thin body is where this is crappy.

Aroma of anis, peat, coffee and chocolate. Pours black with a medium foam. Tastes nice and roasty. Roasted malt, some dark nuts, and a slight mocha finish. Nice and dark.

very dark pour with a large biege head. For those who like smoked porters, this is a bridge into stouts... If you want one.

Hail to the chief. A beauty in the glass, dark brown with a slight red tint and a small tan head. The aroma is like a smoky piece of bread. The flavor also has the smoky bread along with a bitter bite that gets more intense as the beer warms. Crisp and clean finish with a very nice lingering after taste.

Bought on CueTour 2011! Pours a dark black opaque color with great big brown head and lovely lacing. Fruity nose with caramel, roasted malts and cocoa. Good roasted malt flavor with some smoke. Sweeter than I would have thought, but very nice....with some coffee notes near the end.
