An idea of the Ginjinha shines through. Creamy, smooth body. Very well balanced, very nice. Roasted espresso, dark chocolate, sour cherries.

Botella 33 cl en Cimmeria 23..02..2018. (r21). Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro persistente. Sabores maltosos tostados algo torrefactos con toques especiados. Suaves notas de caramelos de cereza, guindas alicoradas. Cuerpo medio a intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio. Algo seca al final. Buena.

Strange. Real bitter stout, thick and roasted, with a sour cherry liquor shining through. Very alcoholic. All the cherry-stuff makes it a bit synthetic, though. End result is not unpleasant, but it certainly could have done without.
