0.44l can many thanks to Lore. Jet black body with a thin brown head. Aroma and taste of chocolate, dark sugar syrup, rum, oak, nutmeg and even some bourbon. Long lasting sweet aftertaste with a touch of booze. Great one.

0.44 l can from 'Craftbeers', canned in May 2025. Pitch black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Intensely sweetish-malty, quite roasty and a little fruity aroma of dark chocolate, mocha, whisky roasted hazelnut and traces of rum. Quite sweet, malty, fairly roasty, a little fruity taste of dark chocolate, mocha, roasted hazelnut, licorice, whisky, cognac and light rum, followed by a long, fairly roasty-bitter, slightly warming, minimally woody finish. Full body, smooth and slightly oily mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Very solid base beer with subtle but rather nuanced barrel-aging. Great brew!
