Comments:
The beer is dark, a rich brown/black with a minimal amount of carbonation, just enough to give it a smooth mouth feel, despite the thickness of the beer. That said, it is without a doubt a heavy beer.
The flavor is rich and malty, living up to the promise of the scent, but there is a surprise in store. The finish is like a sip of whisky and lingers on the tongue. It feels like you finish a drink of it with more alcohol than you started.
A good American analog to this beer is a bourbon barrel aged brew like Bourbon County Stout. This would be a good beer for someone who likes their whisky, or a good boilermaker, except when you are drinking for the flavor—not the blitz-faced hammering—you can skip the shot.
