4.5Absolutnie doskona?e piwo. Ju? wersja podstawowa jest ?wietna, ale bba jest klas? wy?ej. Wprawdzie zderzenie aromatu wedzonki i bourbona jest osobliwe ale i tak niez?e. Barwa czarna nieprzejrzysta z umiarkowan? br?zow? pian?. W smaku spora s?odycz, wedzonka i wanilia plus kokos. Alkohol ma?o wyczuwalny. Goryczka stosowana, przyjemna. Bardzo dobry balans. Kragla pe?nia, umiarkowane wysycenie i lekko kwaskowy i czekoladowy finisz.
4.5wat een perfect samenspel tussen de imperial stout, rookmout en bourbon rijping, allen goed waarneembaar maar geen die de aandacht teveel opeist. prachtige symfonie, waar je nog een uur van kunt nagenieten.
4.5Немного непривычно, но очень круто!
3.9Weinig aroma. Smaak licht gerookt en bittertje. Cacao en koffie. De bourbon zit ver weg en dus subtiel aanwezig. Licht plakkerig mondgevoel.

3.9330ml bottle generously sent by Bierkoning as a part of European local swap, many thanks.
Nice smokiness and some peat aromas hide almost all of the bourbon BA but that makes the vanilla and coconut even more subtle and tasty.

3.8Tap at Taphouse. Huge aroma of peat and smoke. Taste is very sweet for an imperial stout. Not really my style. But good none the less.
4.0Once upon a time I’ve drunk it one friend tasting panel. Can’t remember exact details of aroma and taste except that this beer was very, very good
4.1330ml bottle from The Gull. Bottled 2016-09-16. Pours a dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma is peaty, some nuts. Taste is medium sweet, burnt malt, peaty. Good stuff.
4.2W aromacie na pierwszym planie wędzonka, gdzieś z tyłu beczka. Wygląd? Po przelaniu do sniftera wygląda świetnie. Potężna beżowa piana szybko znika zostawiając jedynie lekką obrączkę. Smak tego piwa to największa jego zaleta. Jednym słowem - zacnie. Połączenie słodkości wędzonki i nut beczki zawsze mi się podobało. To jest właśnie to co tygryski lubią najbardziej.
3.7Black color with a beige head, medium retention and some lacework. Aroma has a good presence of smokyness with some coffee notes. Flavor is light bittery, smoke, coffe taste and some peat in the aftertaste with light sweet hints. Creamy and smooth mouthfeel.
