Söt och värmande med tydlig (men ej överdriven) Bourbonkaraktär. Lite spritig finish. Var är kaffet? Helt ok.
Bottle shared at home. Opaque black color, medium sized brown head. Aroma is malts, bourbon, sweetish bourbon soaked raisins. Taste malts, bourbon, roasted malts, lightly liquorice, liquorice and malt bitter. Medium body, sticky texture, decent carbonation. Nice, well done. 8-4-8-4-16.
Aromat to jest poezja, wydaje mi się że w tej beczce były jakieś brety, ale zrobiły kawał dobrej roboty, poza czekolada, wanilia, są super nuty funky, przypomina trochę mikkelera blacka. Barwa czarna, piana okej. W smaku słodkie, czekoladowe, waniliowe, beczkowe, suszone owoce. Alkohol niewyczuwalny. Jest mega złożone i zbalansowane. Nie ma jakiejś dużej gęstości, ale nie przeszkadza to. Pyszne, wspaniałe piwo.
Gęste,slodkie,czekolada,kakao,burbon pyszne.
Intensywne
Aromat bogaty, głównie wanilia. W smaku czekolada, wanilia od beczki, piwo dobrze ułożone, alkohol wyczuwalny.
Piana niska, szybko ucieka, acz lekko zdobi szkło. W aromacie mocarna wanilia, waniliowa czekolada, szlachetny alk. W smaku konkretnie słodkie, acz ta słodycz jest kontrowana długim, acz niesamowicie szlachetnym odczuciem alkoholu na finiszu. Słodkie, gęste, a jednak zbalansowane. Do powolnego picia, rozłożenie beczki po bourbonie na czynniki pierwsze.
Fajne piwerka robi ten Ab InBev;]
Doughy, chewy, sweet aroma with notes of coffee, chocolate, dark fruit, vanilla, and Brach's Royals. Sweet, heavily roasty, bittering is from coffee/cocoa/C2H5OH, earthy. Finish is a little bitter-ragged, but like cafe Cubano, turns sugary at the very end. Body is viscous. Burnt motor oil pour, nice lumpy-neck bottle, good label. Very good, but not as cohesive as I'd have liked. ABC Liquors, Bull Run.
Dark brown colour, almost black, brown head. Aroma is intensive sour cherry, vanilla, dark chocolate, some bourbon. Alcohol is warming but does not disturb. Medium bitterness. Full body, creamy texture. Very good.
Bottle, 12%. Color: Black, thin light brown head. Aroma: Bourbon, mocha, roasted malt. Taste: Mocha, caramel, sweet chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla, Bourbon. Medium sweet, light to moderate bitterness. Bit boozy. Well balanced, no harsh flavors, some complexity, although overall vanilla and sweetness dominate. Oily mouthfeel. Full body, low carbonation. Nice beer for slow sipping.
Opaque black beer with a slight/medium brown/dark brown head. Heavy aroma; taste starts medium/heavy sweet and ends slightly bitter and dry. Bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, mocha and roasted malts. 9/5/9/4
Flaska från SB. Svart vätska med litet moccafärgat skum. Stooooooora fattoner i doft och smak. Underbar stout som bara lider av en lite för tunn kropp. Mycket bra!
Flaska ute på Hovet. Doft av russin o bourbon o portvin. Härlig smak av av bourbon med bra balans. Detta lovar gott!! Hur är fortsättningen då? Jodå choklad med en avslutande liten syra som rullar på tungspetsen. Avslutningen är bra med mycket bourbon o en yttepytte liten beska!!
Pours a dark dark brown, with a nice medium brown head. Aroma of malts and chocolate. Taste is slightly sweet, notes of wood and bourbon. This is an interesting ba Stout, thumbs up.
35,5cl Bottle @ Saveur-Biere, Lille, France.
Black colour with a thin tan head.
Aroma is roasted malt, cocoa, coffee, bourbon, oak.
Taste is roasted malt, dark chocolate, sweet, coffee, toffee, vanilla, bourbon, oak.
Medium to full body, soft carbonation.
Flaska från SB. Svart med liten mörkbrun krona. Ganska snäll i doft och smak med toner av mörka bär, bourbon, fat, tjärpastill, salmiak och toffee. Något mindre kropp. Kanske lite väl anonym på sina ställen.
Bottle from Top of the Hops in Stockton. Pours black with a foamy beige head. Boozy, almost Christmassy bourbon aroma. The taste is boozy also. The bourbon dominates the taste. Wood, spice and vanilla. Liquorice and leather underlies. Slightly thin bodied. Expected a but more.
De Hopt. En copa Teku. Viendo Los 100 3x15-16. Barrica no excesiva y notas a bourbon agradables, pero no llega a la complejidad de las mejores del estilo y el alcohol se le termina notando algo mas de lo deseable
Bottle 355 ml. Very dark brown, close to black color, noisy brown foam. Rich aroma: honey, bourbon, malts and vanilla, rye bread, dried fruits, prunes, port wine. Taste: caramel, roasted malt, vanilla, chocolate, bourbon, dried fruits, very warming, moderately sweet. Solid imperial stout.
Flaska Systembolaget. Svartbrun vätska. Tydlig doft av bourbon. Rostad malt, vanilj, sirap och knäck. Fyllig och smarrig. Värmande alkohol
Aroma is strong from bourbon. Roasted malts, oak wood and dark fruits. Taste is big as well as the body. Sweet bourbon notes with hints of vanilla. Light molassess in the background. Chocolate malts and light bitterness. A tad of alcohol shines through. Dry with a spicy ending. Warming finish.
Pours inky with a nice solid chocolate-brown head. Nose is a very potent but pleasant blend of chocolate, mocha, and oaky aromas with just a touch of dark fruit and alcohol. Flavor is complex and shows off the best of what a properly barrel-aged stout can be, with passing flavors of dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee, bourbon, and caramel all present. Finish is long and semi-sweet with a hint of lingering wood. Alcohol fairly well hidden. Absolutely top notch stout.
Mörkt brun, nästan svart öl med ett beige skum. Doft av choklad, vanilj och lättare toner av mörka bär. I smaken tillkommer fattoner.
2 finger dark beige head.
Pitch black beer.
Aroma is grains, bourbon, dark chocolate, booze soaked toffee, slight vanilla and fresh yeast.
Taste is grains, rye whiskey, charred cask, dark chocolate and fresh yeast with hints of toffee and vanilla.
Mouthfeel is rather smooth with some creaminess. A bit sticky. Medium bitterness. Medium-low carbonation. Oily. Warming nasal alcohol burn. Ends pretty hollow, which is a shame.
Overall: Good old school RIS, but not without it's flaws. The whiskey takes over a bit much and in turn, cover up the backing notes abruptly. Could use slightly more sweetness to balance up the harsh, roasted notes. Nice winter warmer though.
Delicious scent of bourbon, oak, coffee and chocolate. Sweet, bourbon, coffee and oak barrels. Exquisite bitterness that fills the mouth forever. Good but a little watery. Follow me @ Kung av öl @ Facebook for more pictures and ratings.
