A whole array of complementary tastes, typical of the Abstrakt series. A soft low-carb tan head with an endearing coffee, cream, vanilla and milt chocolate nose. The taste profile balances out beautifully, featuring semi-sweet chocolate, roasted caramel malt, rich black berries, cream, implied rye and rich coffee. Underlying the taste elements is a warming booziness, a touch of underlying sourness, and the typically low level of carbonation allows a full appreciation of all of the subtle tastes.

Bottle tasted October 2018. Deep reddish brown with almost no head. Aroma has dark malt, dry fruit, coffee, soy, a bit spiced and smooth alcohol. Flavor is smooth, malty, vinous, dry fruit and mild roasted. Full bodied and long lasting aftertaste. Nice, quite boozy, big beer but in a fine way. I think some storage has done this beer well.
