Bottle at KØ19. Vinous aroma. Black colour. Small head. The flavour is roasted, quite sweet. Rough bitterness. Some alcohol bitterness, but mostly warming alcohol.

Bottle shared with IH at Hegglandslia 10.03.19. Ebony. Brown head. Excellent aroma and taste of cigar box, vamilla, dates, figs, a hint of smoke, oak and pineapple, balanced by good bitterness.

330ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with almost no head. Aromas of powdering chocolate and roasted malts. Flavors follow same, but richer and with additional black coffee. Not getting much barrel though definite ABV. Good.

L42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Scopey. Almost opaque dark brown beer, bubbly tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth if thin dark malt, touch of roast and some dry earthyness. Mild malt tang. Little dark fruits. Some chocolate and spice on the finish. Tasty.

Bottle shared at L42. It pours black with a small beige head. The aroma is soft, mellow, rounded, cacao, mellow whisky, dark fruits, berry and jam. The taste is smooth, mellow, chocolate cake, soft whisky, floral, cacao, light spice, some alcohol, chewy malt, wood with a slick, warming finish. Medium plus body and fine carbonation. A bit toothy, but good fun.
