*Rating overgezet 2017* Gekregen van Benzai. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een volle bruinige schuimkraag. Het heeft een gebrande moutige geur met tonen van koffie. De smaak is gebrande mout, koffie, drop en zoethout.

Bottle picked up from somewhere in the Netherlands, consumed at home Saturday 13th September 2018 whilst cooking a proper authentic Spaghetti Carbonara with Homemade Potted Crab (starter) Ok so hands up we never made the Crab thing, but the pasta Carbonara was great. Back to the beer, this is a great beer, a tinge of unripe dark fruit allied with the Bourbon, its a lovely combination. A touch of sweet but bitter molasses, good. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8
