Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, mediumsized brown head. Aroma is hazelnuts, cocoa, alcohol, liquorice and mild popcorn elements. Flavour is nutty, cocoa, alcohol, liquorice, hazelnuts, some toffee with some toasted tones. Alcohol is a bit too evident in the flavour, but otherwise really nice.

Bottle shared with Laura on this special day where PSV beat Ajax and pushed them down to last place in the competition. Better celebrate this as it's probably the last time ever we're witnessing this. Cheers! -- Opaque black color, virtually no head. Aroma is heavy hazelnut and some chocolate in the background. Flavor is hazelnut up front, malts and barrel aging after that, light cocoa / chocolate but then the hazelnut takes over again and dominates. Overall very sweet. A little less balanced than I had hoped, could definitely improve with a little less hazelnut and more bitterness but hey, on this special day I'm gonna enjoy it anyway! Cheers!
