(Bottle, 0.375 l - BBE 11/12/22, from Systembolaget, 20130406) The beer poured black. Its head was small and lightly brown. Aroma had roasted malts and booze. Palate was full bodied and dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were roasted malts, sweetness, vanilla, sweetness, wood, ash and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, roasty and bitter. The name made me expect more honey and vanilla. Instead what I got was sweet burnt imperial stout. I’m confused.
