2015 bottle. Pours black, with a medium, foamy, brown head. The nose is toasted oak, dark chocolate, sharp pine, cherry wood, and burnt caramel. Apple and soy aftertaste. Sweet and roasty, with a sticky, funky bitterness. Heavy body, with a syrupy, doughy, lightly acidic mouthfeel. Big, dry, and tasty stout.

Flaska från SB. Ett öl man läst om, suktat efter, hoppats på och så dyker den upp i fasta sortimentet. Både bra och dåligt kanske. Visst är den bra men tiden och andra bryggerier har kanske kommit ikapp. Men stor kropp som bär alla smaker väl, subtila fattoner, ett överdåd av choklad och en snygg kärvhet som drar åt både lakrits och tjära. Vanilj och molass ger dessertsötma. Alla bitar passar ihop riktigt bra och ger en snyggt balanserad helhet. Pastry stout kanske men också stabilt och kärvt. Riktigt gott.
