Ukrainian strong stout flavoured with tonka beans, thanks to 77ships for sharing. Thin and open, pale greyish beige, dissolving head on a very dark chocolate brown beer with burgundy hue – not entirely pitch black. Aroma dominated by the tonka bean effect to a very large extent, marzipan, hazelnut liqueur, nougat, candied dates, macaroons, chocolate sauce, amaretto, peanuts, dried coconut, caramel, cinnamon, treacle. Sweet onset, somewhat sticky even, candied dates and brown sugar, soft carb, full and oily body, even a bit viscous; thick toffeeish, peanutty and milk-chocolatey middle, lots of warming amaretto- and cognac-like alcohol, and of course a whole lot of tonka bean flavouring, reminiscent of marzipan, coconut, cinnamon and vanilla all in one, ending with caramelly and toffeeish sweetness that lingers in booze-heated, liqueurish way. Intense, perfumey, very desserty pastry stout, very well done for what it intends to be and delivering tonka in a most generous way. Pleasantly surprised.
