Enjoyed at the Copenhagen Beer Festival. Reviewed from notes.
A - Poured a nice rich dark black hue with a good two finger mocha head that fades slowly to leave nice lacing.
S - Aromas of big bourbon, nice fudgy chocolate, vanilla, good barrel notes.
T - Taste is similar to the nose. Excellent bourbon flavour and barrel, great fudgy rich chocolate, tons of oaky vanilla, cocoa powder.
M - Mouthfeel is a bit on the thinner side, lightly carbonated, bit boozy.
O - Overall this was a very nice imperial stout. Excellent bourbon notes here, though perhaps it is a bit on the hot side.
Serving Type: on tap

Sample at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2017, blue session. Black color with creamy brown head. Aroma has mostly vanilla and sweet chocolate. Taste is sweet with vanilla, lactose, cacao, dark chocolate and a roasty bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation. Taste is quite sharp overall.
