440ml can shared by Finn at a session with him and Leif. Oily pour revealing a near-black body, tiny off-white head leaving dotted spots on the glass. Vanilla sweet aromas of chocolate, inviting. Sweet chocolate malty taste, joined by nuts and earth. Sweet chocolate ending, smoothly roasted. Full bodied. Warming sipper. Good stuff, a little too sweet for a higher score. (Tromsø, 04.02.2026).
