Fat på MBCC 2017. Smak och doft av trä, choklad, marispan, kokos, chili med toner av kakao, vanilj och tanniner. Tydliga rödvinstoner och ektoner. Bra chillihetta, god balans, värmande, väl dold alkohol, fin sötma och beska. Gott!

Draught at MBCC. Green Session. Jet black, bubbles on the surface, dotted spots on the glass. Rich smell of chocolate cake, lightly spiced. Well blended flavours of liquorice, dark grapes, chocolate and wood. Vinous impression. Dark spiced finish. Lovely sipper qualities. (Copenhagen 13.05.2017).

Provad på MBCC-17. Kolsvart. Doft och smak av kokos, marsipan, chili, mörk choklad, kakao, ekfat, vanilj, tanniner. Rödvinstonerna lyser igenom en aning, men främst genom strama ektoner. Gör sig väl. Bra hetta från chilin, ger lite sting och värme. Kanske lite spretig men snarare komplex då smaklagren gifter sig bra. Riktigt gott.
