Imperial porter draped in black garments and casted by a Victorian flavouring bric-à-brac; christmas pudding. A Magickal liquid grimoire harmoniously married with oiled notes of raisins, currant, brandy and a gently touch of cinnamon, nutmeg and mystical warming finish.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The magician Aleister Crowley was crowned "The Wickedest man in the world" and his secret society was shrouded in many rumours. Regardless what you choose to think about Crowley and his followers, one can determine that magick actually is dangerous. Dangerous, because it urges you to break rules and expand your consciousness. For the one who delves into it there is no return, and possibly one has to be a tad wicked to cope with it...
About Crowley and his legacy there is certainly much to be said – but this time it is the very core of his work – The True Will - that we wish to pay homage to.
The Will that is deep inside when you peel the layers that encircles us.
It is with this very core of his identity our Brewmaster has been working in the preparations of this brew. Much time and dedication has been put into the making of this label and its background. With the help of vast academic literature and PhD thesis in Egyptology, he has learned to interpret hieroglyphs and create his very own spell in the vein of Crowley, the one we can see depicted on the artwork of the label.
To manifest ones own True Will. To celebrate the important people in life and yet to be able to stand strong alone like the Hermit.
Love is the law. Love under Will.
