Aroma begins with a smoke which brings the motives of chocolate, cocoa and dark fruit. The taste combines easy sweetness of prunes, cocoa and smoked notes of burned spill. In dry aftertaste all this finds final balance and harmony.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up via online. Pours deep brown with a slight, fizzy tan head. Hearty and old-school, with rich dark malt character, light tobacco, burnt toffee, iodine, ashy roast, some scorched earth, bitter chocolate. Full bodied, oily and lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish with ashy bitterness, a hint of gingerbread, burnt sugars, bittersweet cocoa. Good stuff overall.

Pitch black, medium dark tan creamy head, nice lacing, not too lasting. Aroma is of dark chocolate, cocoa, dark fruit, bit burnt, some alcohol notes. Taste is medium to very sweet, dark chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, bit burnt notes, dark fruit, medium cocoa bitterness which goes in to a looong aftertaste, some alcohol notes with warming finish. Full bodied, soft- carbonation, nice and creamy. Creamy cocoa drink! Excellent. (bottle, Bierhalle Deconinck, Vichte)
