Small free sample at the taproom because somehow the bartender was not allowed to sell a taster, only 25cl or a pint. Huge smell of vanilla, coconut and chocolate. Smells nice!... But the tasty is dry rye, boozy, sour blackberries, dry overaged red wine, dusty. Under medium sweet and sour, dry boozy finish. Smells great, tastes not good at all. A taster would really be enough...
