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 from a trade. Thanks Taboada! Dark brown/black colour, brown foam. Very roasty, lots of coffee along with vanilla notes. Lots of vanilla, a bit too sweet but not bad.
