#1820 - Blind-tasted except for the beer's name, ABV% and brewery/country...
L- Jet black, even held up in front of a halogen bulb. 3mm dark tan head that's waning fast but that's expected considering the ABV%.
S- Roasty-toasty, no overt aspects like smoke or coffee etc for me.
T- Quite rich it has a fruity/liquorish note too, unclear what that might be. Occasionally the latter reminds me of Coke, but with a liquor'ish edge.
F- Has that slightly syrupy feel that presumably comes from carbs (sugars) in such a high ABV% and rich beer.
O- I'm glad I started this well chilled, as as it warms it will likely morph from rich towards outright sweet. It's a bit punchy but the richsweet is making too much of a statement of itself. It's lactose isn't it? Too sweet, blunt-instrument and all a bit unrefined and in yer face...
Review/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the lables to see what I missed! Aged in Pomerol barrels (explains the fruity edge). Contains the 3 grains. Not for me, overcomplex and hence confused/Not one I'd wish to drink again.
