UPDATED: NOV 24, 2023 Pour from a bottle, Stillwell Beerbar Halifax. Pours black without head. Bourbon, dark fruits, woody barrel. Some brown sugar, plums, dark fruits too. Quite complex, very good.

UPDATED: NOV 21, 2023 Dark fruity aroma - Dark fruity flavours with alcohol heat - Dark fruit and alcohol goes into the finish - This was good

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2023 (Bottle) (2021) (at Daniels) clear, fluorescent bright orange brown color with a small white head; aroma of dried figs, nuts, cognac; smooth palate; rich balanced flavor with a long, light bitter finish

UPDATED: AUG 12, 2023 Pour is a clear brown with no head. Aroma is all alcohol. Very fusel alcohol. Flavor is a different animal. Brown sugar to start then comes a hot cocoa with some red wine notes followed by a spicy nutmeg and cinnamon. I had a very small sample and that was enough for me. Unique and good enough for a very small sample.

UPDATED: JUN 3, 2023 Taster from Bottle, Thx Yngwie. Dark brown with little head. Malts, Fruity, boozy, raisins, strong, sweetness.

UPDATED: APR 20, 2023 Amber pour and a small head Good intensity in the aroma Yes it is sweet, but within limits. Soft carbonation level. Easy to drink Toffee, dried fruits, caramel sauce, vinous, oak, port and some oxidation in the flavor [Strange bottle at Yngwie Plaza in Tveit, Norway]

UPDATED: SEP 26, 2022 Big boozy and thick port nose. Heavy mouthfeel with plenty of raisins,figs, plums, and lots of fortified wine. Extremely deep but pleasant and leaves that warm boozy feeling in your stomach. Unique , deep, and otherworldly.

UPDATED: MAY 30, 2021 Sweet & malty with elements of barley, soy sauce, honey, caramel, pineapple, raisin, fig & molasses. Wonderfully complex. Incredibly long finish. Alcohol well controlled.

Taste was bittersweet, mild alcohol burn, caramel, peat, raisins, brown sugar, sherry, really complex flavors, surprisingly smooth. Fun Saturday night mission to purchase this from its forgotten tomb in a grocery store office with a great friend and my son.

UPDATED: JAN 19, 2021 Bottle. 2019 Vintage - 28% A- Sherry, oak, vanilla, caramel, figs, sugared plums, subtle apple brandy. A- Dark copper color, clear liquid, no head. T- Gooey caramel, Madeira port wine, vanilla, sweet maple, raisins, subtle earl grey tea, subtle nuttiness, very subtle anise, oak, malty. P- Full body, slightly oily texture, no carbonation, complex finish. O- Had no idea I was going to have the opportunity to split a bottle of this from an unexpected grocery store trip on a random January day at the last minute. What a fantastic surprise timely with my 4,000th rating. This is definitely a liquor at least through the tasting experience side of things but hey, that's why it's loved right. Reminds me of a steroidal iced bock. I could contemplate the flavors in here all day. Many thanks to those involved in procuring this bottle. The best part was having it at a spur of the moment with good friends around a kitchen table. No fanfare, just pure enjoyment. Perhaps not as big of a whale as it once was, but still pretty damn special for me.
