Elegantly Balanced Dark Strong Ale with Raisins.
A collaboration between the established and and the freshman, tradition and trend, Solo and Kykao! A combination of brewing from Northern Europe with winemaking from Southern Europe!

The result is a Belgian Dark Strong ale with raisins, fermented with a mix of beer and wine yeast strains, that celebrates each one of these elements.

--Canned, from Beerdome. -- Hazy mahogany colour, small head. Aroma of cocoa powder and dates. Sweet with full body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Dates, pepper and caramel. Honey and slight marzipan. Intense warming finish. Ok, but doesn't lift.

Bottle courtesy of Kostas, Kykao brewery, consumed at home Monday 16th November 2020 (my birthday), listening to W.H.Lung - Incidental Music Remixed. Pours black with a head or actually more correctly a group of bubbles that swiftly departed. Dates, figs, raisins they're all over the aroma with PX sherry. Taste is more of the same with added boozy edge, I'm so glad Loz shared this with me, lengthy finish.
