Strong body and powerful flavour ale but that offers a ‘velvet sip’. The vanilla flavour, from Madagascar beans, stands out above roasted, cocoa and coffee notes. Plato 22.4°.

Bottle at home. Aroma is burnt malt, lots of liquorice, big vanilla, coal, hint of dark chocolate, crème brûlée, marshmallow. Flavour is sweet with a little bitterness in the finish. Body is medium to full. I’m not the world’s biggest fan of liqourice and vanilla, but the flavours work well in this intense beer.

En schnifter, color negro opaco, espuma marrón claro de poca retención. Aroma a malta torrefacta, café, chocolate puro, bizcocho de chocolate, pan de centeno, frutos secos, licor... En boca es robusta, cuerpo completo, textura oleosa, muy torrefacta, mezcla notas amargas bien potentes (cacao puro, posos de café, cenizas...) con toque dulces (brownie de chocolate, café bombón, tiramisú...) y una sinfonía licorosa de fondo que aporta, calor y confort. Final largo, cálido, amargo y licoroso. Una gran cerveza

10 year anniversary. Thuis geprobeerd met Roel. Het is een pikzwart bier met een volle bruinige schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van gebrande mout, koffie en vanille. De smaak is vol, chocolade en vanille achtig. Ebt snel weg.

Bottled. A black beer with a dark brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, vanilla, and prunes. The flavor is sweet with notes of prunes, roasted malt, and prunes, leading to a dry roasted finish.
