Sample at CBC 2015. Black with a small tan head. Nice aroma of chocolate, cinnamon, apples and toffee. Similar taste, also vanilla and roasted malt. Nicely balanced and with a full body. A pleasant surprise this one.

Pours pitch black with a smooth brown head. Aroma of spices, pepper, cinnamon, roasty malts, hints of syrup and toffee. Taste is spicy, roasty and sweetish with some roastiness, cocoa, toffee, syrup and cinnamon. Finish is spicy, roasty and warming with some pepper, cinnamon and vanilla. Quite spicy but balanced.

Aroma is sweet with vanilla, some rubbery tones and licorice. Flavour is very sweet with vanilla, sugary tones, some coffee and licorice. Also marshmallows. Slight alcohol kick in the finish. A sweetness overdose once again, drinkability suffers.

Waxed bottle pours with a deep dark brown body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma is huge with cinnamon and coffee and then a good load of dark roasted malts where there’s a pretty nice chocolate note hanging around at the end of the draw. The taste starts with an even yet bold mix of cinnamon and coffee that barrel into some dark roasted malts, sweetened burnt malts and a pleasing dose of chocolate. On the palate this comes across kind of thin but in no way is this thin on flavor. Cool brew.
