0.33 l bottle from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', bottled in August 2025. Black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Intensely sweetish-malty, slightly vinous-fruity aroma of molasses, raisins, prunes, port and some cocoa. Rather sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently roasty and slightly vinous-fruity taste of dark chocolate, molasses, hard roasted coffee, licorice, raisins, prunes and some port, followed by a long, gently bitter, a bit warming finish. Full body, smooth and almost oily mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Rich and saturating beer, not as complex as previous variants but a solid sipper for sure.
