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°.

330ml bottle @ Syrian Supper tasting, Chez Sophie Sep 20. Pitch black appearance, thick pale tan head. Dark chocolate malt and dark berries form the basis of this beer alongside a little coffee, some modest vanilla, a little more vanilla would be nice. Good overall, could be a little richer.

33 cl bottle at C.A.T.M., Madrid. It pours jet black, shiny and clear, with a thick fawn head. Aroma is chickory, coffee, leather, walnut shell, shale, black chocolate. Boozy, less oily than expected, very bitter (maybe somewhat over the top, 'cause it's not so crisp.) Lingers long after sipping, with more reminiscences of black chocolate.

Fra fat på Brew Wild Pizza Bar, delt med Kitty (Madrid sep-19): brunsvart med fint skum som varte. Superfed og cremet med feit sjokoladekake, dessertchokolader, vanilje, litt lakris og espresso. En perfekt avslutning på en alle tiders stund her en høyt anbefaleksesverdig pizzapub

2018 bottle. Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is roast, chocolate, liquorice, not much vanilla in the smell. Taste is vanilla, chocolate, cereals, black breadcrust. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Roasty aftertaste. A bit too sweet and unbalanced.
