Deep russet-brown, small head over jet-black beer. Tonka beans a mile out, Clan tobacco, dark fruit. Dark sweet cherries in the mouth, cinnamon, Tonka beans, roasted, vanilla; roastbitterness defining the finish. The fruit enhances the stoutacidity; warming up more and more black chocolate. Obviously full bodied, oily, rich and creamy carbonation. Alcoholheat. Tonka galore. Like drinking Clan tobacco. Thanks to Stef!

Draught at Fermentoren, shared with Skinnyviking. Shiny naked surface, fragile lacing, deep black in the glass. Smell of dark berries and chocolate. Rich flavours of coconuts, dark berries, and spiced chocolate. Rather long, sweet malt-driven finish. Smooth in the mouth. Fine depth. Decent sipper. (Copenhagen 09.05.2018).
