Keg at Fidelity Bar, Dublin, 05/11/23. Black with a thin tan cap that dissipates edgewards. Nose is chocolate, dark malts, toffee, brown sugar dusting. Taste comprises cocoa powder, toffee, dark malts, chocolate dipped raisins, hazelnut. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. A little sweet edged but does what it says on the tin pretty well.

Bière en boîte métal 50 cl. Joli couleur, bouche bien intense, parfumée, on sent l'alcool mais il est quand même assez bien intégré, très réussi.

440ml can from the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Poured a clear almost black colour with a short-lived frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, chocolate, red berry fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liqourice bitter, with a smooth, rich, roasty, sweet milk chocolate, light tart raisin palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Pretty clear dark brown beer, practically no head. Aroma: caramel, lots and lots of chocolate, vanilla, a bit nutty, sweet impression. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet and sugary start, lots of alcohol, nice roast, a bitter touch, some chocolate, caramel, more alcohol. Aftertaste: roasted, a bit sourish, lots of alcohol, caramel, decent.
