Rumors are dark malt, toffee, roast, molasses, prunes. Flavors are similar to nose adding in some oak. Excellent body and carbonation. Touches of coffee and cocoa. Sweetness is just right. Very nice.

Roasty, sweetish,slightly earthy with some bourbon, hints of rye, licorice, mämmi, oaky chocolate sauce, syrup and earthiness. Surprisingly sweet and syrupy compared to previous vintages. Still pretty nice as always
