Dark beer, almost black with creamy and brown foam. Rich and powerful beer with a very long after-taste. Very complex and still soft aroma. The high level of alcohol is very subtlety hidden. It is prepared with strongly roasted malt which gives its very special taste.

Bottle(@Alles Gärbar): Deep ruby-amber coloured, stable creamy off-white head; moderate to solid sweet fruity(dried fruits) and caramelly nose with a mild acidity (liqourice?) in the background; pretty solid sweet and slightly sourish and slightly bitter flavour, full bodied; lingering fruity and caramelly finish. Decent, maybe a tad too sweet…

On tap @Mad for Beer (Rome). Pours deep brown/mahogany with a medium and persistent off-white head. Aroma of yeasts, caramel, orange zest, raisins, fantastic! Flavour is medium to heavy sweet with a bitter end with sourish notes. Full body, medium to light carbonation. A great winter beer!
