33cl can de chez Axiom, bue à l’hôtel. Canned 06/12/2022. Version de 10.5%, il semble qu'une version plus forte existe aussi.
Couleur noire col fin crémeux café au lait.
Arôme est bien sur le gros malt: chocolat, léger torréfié, biscuité et de toffee avec une pointe de noisette - noix de pecan.
Palais est bien sur une belle grosse IRS maltée, caramel, chocolat avec une petite note de noisette qui arrive en fin de bouche. Assez classique avec une bonne note de céréales en bouche. Petite note d'amertume des houblons avec une touche délicate de résineux - mais cela semble s’être un peu atténué avec le temps. Petite pointe de cendre/fumé avec une note de sucre crystal en résiduel.

This one is only 12%... Looks like espresso. Aroma and flavour have some coffee notes and roasted malts. It's quite sweet. Nice oily texture. Nice but could be more roasted and bitter.
