(Draught at Man in the Moon, Stockholm, 31 May 2018) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate, bourbon and oak wood. Malty, roasted, vinous taste with notes of coffee, cacao, vanilla, bourbon, wood, hints of tart berries and a balanced coffee bitterness. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich and tasty, with a certain punch. Very nice.

Bottle from jstax-thanks! Dark brown black with light carb. Nose is light vanilla, dark roast malts, light marshmallows, sweet bourbon. Taste is lightly sweet, flavors of dark toast malts, light vanilla and barrel, light quality cold brew coffee. Solid, but a bit thin.

On tap at Listermann: black pour, brown tint, tan head. aroma of sweet dark fruit, roasted malt. tastes are cocoa, dark fruit, molasses, coffee, wood. slight milky. thin palate. can’t believe the abv - covered well. fine work. 8.2

Black, small white head. Aroma smells like chili peppers though there isn’t any. Hints of cinnamon. Flavor is odd, a bit vegetal, strong coffee, roasty, boozy finish.

This is a great barrel aged brew out of Cinci. I’m sure this one would only get better with age. Enjoy!

Bottle: I love this beer. It’s sweet, but with a beautiful solid backbone of spice and coffee that fills the mouth with flavors. Great beer... can’t wait to try it with some age on it to see how it changes.
