A luscious and decadent ryewine aged in German whisky barrels.
The initial taste mirrors the aroma - fairly sweet, with lighter toffee tones and a touch of vanilla warmth. The full-bodied mid-palate is dominated by freshly baked rye bread with a pleasant roasted edge. The long, lingering aftertaste is defined by whisky character, a gentle alcoholic warmth, and a raisiny sweetness that stays on the palate for quite some time. This rich and elegant beer has excellent potential to continue maturing and developing beautifully in the cellar.
Appearance
Deep dark brown, almost black beer with a thin golden-brown head when poured.
Nose
The aroma is big and complex. The first impression is dark toffee, followed by a hint of vanilla. As the beer opens up in the glass and breathes, a bold and lush whisky note emerges. In the background, there’s the comforting scent of freshly baked rye bread straight from the oven.
Malts
Munich light, Rye malt, Red rye crystal, Caramel 150, Caramel 300, Special B, Chocolate rye, Carafa special T-3

Flarra från systembolaget. Jo du här klunkar och en varm känsla i munnen framkommer. Finns smak av kaffedrink . Lite machiato och tydlig underliggande wirre . Mycket god . Här kommer extrem förkortad variant på omdömet .
Smakar = kaffedrink
- lite väl mye kaffe ☕️ och lite väl mye socker

Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Solid complex sipper.

Bottle, had this Friday 27th February 2026 around Jude and Baz's, Spond, Herefordshire we cooked a Chicken Tikka Masala. Bottle courtesy of Baz and Jude, cheers guys. Pours extremely dark brown, almost black, filmy head, warming, really warming. Boozy, fumes down the the nose, absolutely marvellous and far too easy drinking. Thickness in the mouth, lovely and incredibly drinkable. Score 8.3
