BOTTLE 37 CL from Koelschtrinker. Danke! Pitch black, dark espresso head. Huge, luscious chocolate glazed smoky dark fruit infused with Bourbon. The taste is incredibly intense for a beer of its strength, black chocolate and dark treacle with a strong acrid coffee note, followed by a lot of barrel goodness - whisky spice and heat, as well as it caramel and vanilla side. Thick full smooth body. Slightly ashy finish with moderate chili heat. Excellent.

Memory banks rate, drank a lot of this when I was getting in to beer, still think it’s a great drink, never mind beer. So much going on. Red wine barrels, as I recall. Dark brown, thin but persistent tan head. Aromas of chocolate, faint chilli, red wine, oak, vanilla. Taste is more of the same.
