Caña en el Roots Valladolid 28.. 10.. 2019. Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco tiempo casi por completo. Sabores maltosos y cereales con suaves toques especiados, cacaos y vainillas con toques también de maderas. Cuerpo medio a intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio y bastante sabor. Algo seca y ligeramente amarga. Bastante buena para repetir sin duda alguna.

áááá, borzadály, a cognacos hordós imperial stout-ra emlékeztet, a vanílka meg csak még jobban émelyít.

Bottle. Pitch black body with a thin, lacing beige head. Aroma has dark malt, lots of chocolate and vanilla. Flavor is really sweet dark malt, chocolate, lactose, hint of coffee and wood. Fine balanced body and long lasting aftertaste. Really nice and manage to balance the sweetness somehow. One bottle may be too much of the same here, but really nice for a couple of small glasses.
