330ml bottle, shared. Very dark black with a very thin tab head. Aroma is vanilla, caramel, roasted malt, leather. Flavour is more of the same, tastes nothing like its strength. Lovely

Black beer, tan head soon fizzes away. Boozy smell of dried fruit, a little chocolate. Flavour has the woodiness, dried fruit again, sweet spirits, a little medicinal. Smooth, sweet, warming. Excellent stuff.

The 2020 version cuckoo brewed at Grain. Ordered from Beer Shop HQ, St Albans. Aroma had liquorice, coffee, molasses and a hint of tar. Glossy. Dark. Creosote. Foamy tan head. Medium-heavy bitter - coffee and liquorice - soon followed by sweet molasses and figs. Burnt sugar. Dark chocolate The sweetness plus the booze result in a desert wine effect. Thick. Oily. Flat carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Warming - the bitterness and sweetness compliment each other.

Flesje Special edition 2014 gedeeld door Benzai na proeverijtje. Zwart, stroperig bier. Geur van vanille en smaak van vanille en rook. De rooksmaak blijft even hangen.
