Bottle. Really liked this beer. Deep, dark amber color with a small white head and no lace. Aroma was very mild but complex. Hints of chocolate, dried fruit and wisps of roasted grain and coffee. Taste was roasted gain and light chocolate at first with a sweet dreid fruit finish.

0.33 l bottle. Pours deep brown with beige head. Roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, fruity and alcoholic notes in aroma. Coffee, roasted malts, chocolate and even some hops in taste with long, coffeeish finish and warm mouthfeel. Medium bodied, softly carbonated. Nice.

Аромат самобытный немного резковатый, сильно пряный, немного алкогольный, винный и немного коньячный. Цвет желчно-красный без осадка, как душа у дьявола. Вкус по большой части пряный и коньячный, слегка пресный, средне тело, хорошая карбонизация. Послевкусие начинается с сильным неприятным алкогольным взрывом. После этого следует теплый осадок в горле и сильные пряные, немного фруктовые нотки с ликерном оттенком. В целом мне не зашло из за сильного алкогольного бума.

Bottle from Co-op. Pours a dark amber brown, small off white head. Aroma and taste is malty with light roast, caramel, raisins, pear, treacle, quite sweet. Flavour starts a bit non descript but then the layers build up to a nice malty and fruity finish with a tingle of spice. Medium to full bodied, chewy, zingy carbonation. It's a good beer although I prefer Old Peculiar in a similar style.
