(Bottle, thanks to Håkan) Black colour with no head. Malty, roasted, vinous nose with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, cacao, treacle and a touch of fresh asphalt. Malty, roasted taste with espresso, dark chocolate, cacao, oak wood, vanilla, liquorice, dried fruit, prunes, raisins, a touch of tamarind and a sweetish, vinous finish with a generous cacao bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Really powerful and tasty, with lots of coffee, chocolate and oak. Still in good balance. Lovely beer!

Taste- whisky, dark rum, smooth chocolate, treacle, dark malts, coffee, dark chocolate torte, oaky woody notes, bitter undertones, flat mouthfeel, oily coating in the mouth. Boozy but doesn’t taste like 13.5. Tasty stuff, let down a bit by the flatness.

This better be good after the mess I made taking the cork out... and it's fantastic! Was in the mood for something sweet tonight.

RB backlog. Super intense play of milk and dark chocolates, cocoa nibs, wheat, sourdough bread crust. Not too sweet in the start, but nutty sweetness builds up and gives way to mineralic and slightly tart notes.
