Written in darkness and blood, under careless gaze from lords up in the heavens.
Its words deepen wounds, each syllable cutting limbs and setting eyes aflame.
Tucked away from hateful spirits and their venomous talons.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Viscous black, small brown head. Aroma of custard and caramel sauce. Very sweet with full body and viscous mouthfeel. Sticky caramel and vanilla ice cream. Syrupy boozy finish.

Thanks fonefan (2024 version). Pitch black colour, tiny head. Aroma is alcohol, some bourbon, vanilla and quite syrupy sweetness. Flavour is syrup, some chocolate, vanilla, mild bourbon with some slight alcohol too. OK, but the maple BBA was nicer.

Can 33 cl. Pours a syrupy thick jet black with absolutely no head. Sweet chocolate candy nose with vanilla dominating. Rich and cloyingly sweet chocolate candy bar flavors with no carbonation at all. the bourbon notes are very downplayed. Warming alcohol finish. 071123

Why the fck you don't have barcode on label? Fckin cheat homebrew. Liquid itself is more sugar than beer. Overall experience is disappointing.
