440ml can from the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Batch 2. Poured almost black with a mostly lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, big chocolate, cacao. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, dry, chocolate, light liqourice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Given the name I think there was supposed to be hazelnut and toffee too, but given that the chocolate was so overpowering, there was no room for anything else!

Svart. Skumring med litt farge. Aroma av nøtter & vanilje. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken tørr. Mere nøtter. Røstet malt. Ikke så søt som forventet - men god!
