The first fruits of our Tryanuary brewday, this is Tonkoko like you haven't seen her before! Coming in at a mighty 10.6% and (of course) with even more coconut, tonka, chocolate and vanilla. Boozy, indulgent and so good. Very limited quantities, this is a sneak peek before the barrel aged versions are unleashed next year.

Can 33 cl. Pours black with an orange hue and a tiny, rough, beige head. Distinct tonka aroma paired with coconut. Rich and VERY sweet notes of coconut, vanilla and tonka - borderline cloying. Warming alcohol finish with no bitterness whatsoever. Remains sticky sweet. 280826

Can, gift from Sam. Black body with a tight beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of nuts, milk chocolate and tonka bean. Flavour of creamy chocolate and umami. Medium to full body with a chewy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A rich and dangerously drinkable beer.

Sommeravslutning på Mi2 Cardinal juni-26 Vi er på slutten av den siste og krevende timen, så det er lenge siden vi hadde et edru blodomløp i sikte. Kveldens eneste boksøl: brunsvart med kort skum. Kokos, sjokolade, tonkabønner (som jeg ikke kan fordra) og vanilje.

Sesongstart på Mi2 Cardinal, hvor vi alle møtte med topptrimmet lever og tilsvarende pågangsmot. Brunsvart med ok skum. Karamelchokolader, vaniulje, kakao, kokos og tonka. Heldigvis ikke for mye av det siste. Fra 0,33 bx.

Do a Tonka ever disappoint you?
No no no
Excellence in a can!
So smooth and tasty.
Mellow sweetness for a beer like this.
Tonka, chocolate, dark malt and nutty flavor
[Can – bought somewhere in Edinburg, Scotland]

Аромат шоколадный, немного какао и кофе отдавало, тонка бобы на втором плане, лактоза. Цвет черный, пенки почти нету, хотя пил через драфт. Вкус хороший и сбалансированный. Много шоколада прежде всего, какао а затем бобы тонка и ваниль. Сладко но в меру. Как будто чернослив при послевкусие. В целом ничего нового но все хорошо и сбалансировано.

Can at Café De Grendelpoort, Valkenburg. 2024 vintage. Tonka and coconut upfront with chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla, fudge, touch of coffee. Mild to medium bittersweet. Its body ranks as medium to full. Lovely.
