22oz bottle. I don’t know how I never rated this. Well pulled one from the cellar tonight. Pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is heavy malts caramel toffee chocolate sweetness and even a little hops still trying to hold on. Taste is more of the heavy malts light roast big sweetness pit fruit and a light bitterness on the end. Wow this is still tasting good.

Sample from 65 cl. bottle. Dark, amber colour with a creamy, lightly tanned head. Sweet aroma with rich caramel malts, dark malts, sweet fruits, liquorice, coffee, spices and nuts. Light hints of alcohol. Very good. Taste is light sweet. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Finishes drying with rich fruits and caramel malts. Excellent - with a good warmth.
