Dark brown, with ruby ​​flashes. Foam slightly beige, not too abundant. Rich, toasty, fruity aroma with melanoid and caramel notes. Liquorice tone in the mouth, breadiness, sponge cake, slightly sour notes. Surprisingly slim body. Chocolate and herbs on the finish. Alcohol well hidden, delayed slight warming in the throat. Dangerously delicious.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Dark brown with a slight ruby light, small but consistent off-white top. Malty aroma with chocolate, biscuit. raisins, toffee, peanuts, light metalic hint. The last note isn't discernible in the taste but the rest are to make a nice malt complex with fruity middle and a herbal punchy bitterness in the finish. Quite warming. It tastes a bit like 1/3 barley wine 2/3 strong ale but its very balanced and tasty despite not being a full on version of the style. I cant decide whether I prefer this or Broadside.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.
