Bottle bred in London - many thanks to Kenny. Pours deep brown with a frothy, off-white head. The nose holds well toasted bread, a little chocolate, faint caramel, ripe berries. Light to medium sweet flavour with mild roast, more cocoa, earth, some ripe orange, toffee. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming in the finish, with more cocoa, dark chocolate, roast, ash. Nice stuff.

Bottle shared thanks to sjogro. Almost black with big darker beige head. Toffee, almonds, lots of roasted malts, more sweet nuts and marzipan, fruity hops with pure lime juice, mango, mint, lychee. There’s some weird burned malts and light plastic in the finish unfortunately, but otherwise great aroma. Medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with nice mouth coating carbonation. Well done!

0,33l bottle at home. BB 04-2018. unfortunatly when bringing up the beer from the cellar I noticed that there was quite a lot of foam and the there was a zisch noise (meaing the cap was not totally tight). when looking at the bottle its obvios as there is light foam coming out. so lets see how this is doing. black color, small tan head. smells of licorice, spices, light caramel, earthy, light exotic fruits, some coffee. very nice smell. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of pines, citric notes, exotic fruits, coffee, licorice, earthy notes. finishes lightly bitter with notes of coffee and earthy notes. very good one, i drank this way too warm (after noticing that the bottle lost carboantion) and for a warm beer it tasted phenomenal. great stuff overall.
