Bottle with cork 0,75ltr: Very dark brown coloured brew with red glow. Amazing smell of chocolate, dry bitter taste with some sweetness. Hints of chocolate, coffee, vanilla and an Dutch treat named "Haags Hopje". Quite amazing winter warmer.
Mmm. Tasty.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Clear mahogay colour, small head. Huge milk chocolate aroma. Sweet with medium to full body and rounded mouthfeel. Instant milk chocolate powder kills everything in it's way. No trace of beer, except for some warming alcohol. Infantile and cheap tasting.

Aus der handlichen 0,75er Flasche. Optisch dunkles Braun, gut Perlung, in der Nase Zuckerwatte, auch im Trunk recht süß, dann Vanille, Schoko, spannend. Kein typischer Schokotrunk. Hohe Drinkability.

Bottle. Nose is chocolate, fruity plummy edge to it, touch of coffee, fruit cake. Taste is chocolate, more coffee than the nose suggests, leading to a fruity and milk chocolate finish with a little spice and pepper. Fine
