Bottle picked up at Systembolaget Hansa (Malmö) and drunk at home (28/12/2022) - black with a tanned ringed head. Sweet dark malty with rich sweet chocolate, some cocoa nibs and vanilla accents, getting some orange zest but allot more restrained compared to the 2020 version the other night, full body, vanilla and light orange zesty infused chocolate malty close.

Bottle at home, from Systembaloget - the big one in Malmo, 23/11/22. Black with a tan cap that soon dissipates edgewards. Nose is liquid chocolate, orange zest, light vanilla, sugars, mellow roast, hint of coconut, dark malts. Taste comprises orange chocolate, light spice, dark malts, spice, booze, Cointreau, molasses, touch of herb. Full bodied, oily feel, light drying close with a balanced rising boost. Decent pastry affair if no wow factor offered, balances the sweetness well enough, though still a touch overly sweet for my liking.
