375mml. bottle as part of the "EFP Brewdog Advent Calendar. Day 7". @home. 09/12/2019. [#3.131 Global - #75 Scotland - #23 Brewdog]. Murky brown colour with a thin tan head. Aroma is dried fruits, vinegar and tobacco. Taste is sweet and flat. Licorice flat finish. Oversweet and boozy. Bottled in 2016, maybe just did not aged well. Next one please!

Weird idea of a tiramisu beer - but then, what is weird in a world teeming with experimental craft beers... Bottle at Belgium Chimipalooza, thanks Guy for sharing. Loose and unstable, quickly vanishing, egg-white head over a hazy caramel brown beer with burgundy hue. Aroma of passionfruit, pear syrup, treacle, varnish, fresh paint, honey liqueur, black peppercorns, caramel, sweet sherry, hazelnut. Sweet, even somewhat syrupy candied date-like onset, pear and blackcurrant notes, hot alcohol effect palpable from the start with a harsh, unpleasantly astringent solventy effect (nail polish remover), very soft carb (if not flat). Slick caramelly and toffeeish malt body, liquorice and clove notes, low in bitterness while the sweetness sticks and the booze, in a moonshine-like way, keeps overpowering. Sweet, sticky barleywine, in itself not a bad thing if you like strong dessert beers, but way too boozy for its own good, even for the style; not too much tiramisu to be found here either, unless with imagination. There are better works of art in this series, even if it remains an interesting and bold idea - have an extra point for that.

Bottled 14.03.2016. brown color. very small tean head. smells of rum, herbal, light booze, nutty, earthy, liqueur, almost smoky, cinnamon, licorice, grassy. very nice smell. full body, basically no carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes earthy, nutty, some cinnamon, sweetness, caramel, wood, rum, some booze, peppery, dried fruits. finishes medium sweet with notes of rum, nuts and cinnamon. very nice one, very heavily sweet though, balance could be a bit better, but overall nice complexity. nice cinnamon notes.
