Bottle from 2008. Pours dark murky brown with a small slightly offwhite head. Aromas of caramel, chocolate, malt, dark fruits, some faded hops, lots of earthy oaky notes, light salmiak licorice. Taste is roasted, caramel, licorice, some hops, oaky notes, raisins, dark chocolate, dry bitter finish. Amazing body, very nice balance!

Draft at the Portland brewery. Dark golden and clear, full bodied almost syrupy. Cognac and wood aroma, sweet caramel taste. Wow.

Bottle from Jeremy. Really smooth, sharp ABV notes in the aroma. Malty sweet and boozy. Perfect all the way around.

Sampled from tap at Borefts 2017. Clear, golden amber with a white head. Sweetish, malty and slightly fruity aroma of caramel, honey, sultanas and oak. Very sweet, malty and a little fruity taste of caramel, honey, sultanas, oak and vanilla, followed by a long, moderately bitter, noticeably boozy and slightly woody finish. Full body, oily mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Very nice!

Woody indeed. Quite a bit dryer than the regular. Boozy and thick. Not bad at all.
