Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Loads of bourbon and whisky in the aroma with oak barrel, chocolate, calvados, some vanilla, roasted malt, dried fruits, hint of chocolate cake, soy sauce, some alcohol. Sweet flavour, some roasty bitterness, moderately boozy finish. Full body. Even more to my liking than Blend I, and a great beer overall.

Zwart bier met mooie bruine schuimkraag die ook nog eens lang blijft staan. Smaak is warm en krachtig, alcohol en licht zoet met iets van noten, chocolade en een heel klein vleugje whiskey en appel. Heel fijne combinatie.
