Sample at Haandfest 2019. Dark brown, almost black body with practically no head. Strong, smooth and very nice aroma of dark roasted malt, quite much cinnamon, dark chocolate, vanilla, some coffee, mild wood and warming alcohol. Flavor is very sweet with everything from aroma, nice balanced spices and warming alcohol. Solid, distinct and well integrated flavors, even with all this sweetness it does not feel sticky. Solid stuff.
