Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of joergen. Pours an opaque black with a thick and creamy beige head leaving some lacework. Very interesing hop aroma, spicy and tropical. Solid body, quite some roast and dark fruits, but the tropical hop notes dominate. Has a little balancing sweetness - yet ends roasty bitter. Very enjoyable. 220413

Flaska från SB. Mörkbrun med beige hållbart skum. Kombination av humle- och rostad maltdoft, mjölkchoklad, örtig frisk humle och viss alkohol. Även i smakenbilden slåss humlen och malten om uppmärksamheten. Kombinationen funkar mycket bra och det är ett tufft smakrikt öl. Torrt, måttlig beska, stram torr choklad och rejäla humledoser med massor av örter med anis i spetsen. Riktigt gott.
