Bomber. Deep brown body with ruby highlights. Short, tan head, rapidly diminishing. Sweet, malty aroma. Notes of overripe, dark fruits, vanilla, roasted malts, molasses, vanilla. chocolate. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Tastes of sweet plum and cherry. Some caramel and chocolate. The finish has some lingering bitterness and also flavors of toasted and raw grains, though not near as much as in other Albanian beers. A bit sweet and a bit thin, but otherwise very tasty and one of New Albanian’s best beers.

Sampled from a growler at the 2010 Indiana Winterfest. Poured a dark brown with a brown head. Aroma was full of roasted malts and an undertone of chocolate and alcohol. Flavor was similar with the chocolate being a bit more present, but roasted malts still being the main note.
