Hazy brown colour, minimal off-white head, practically only some lacing on the top of the ’beer’; aroma of raisins, dried figs and plum soaked in cognac, plum jam, vanilla, walnut liqueur, herbal notes, whisky, biscuit, and burnt sugar; taste of cherry bonbon made with cognag and dark chocolate, raisins, burnt plum jam, overripe sweet dried figs, walnut cake, vanilla, caramel, herbal liqueur, whisky, oak barrel and slight acetone notes; spicy alcoholic aftertaste; I’m fully amazed and have completely and desperately fallen in love!
