Rated at Unknown venue. Lt. Spicy, roasty and heavy with massive amounts of cardamom, some nutmeg, hints of coffee and chocolate. A bit unbalanced and quite over the top.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Near black, small beige head. Aroma of cardamom and caramel. Very sweet with full body and rounded mouthfeel. Shitloads of cardamom and sweetened bun dough. Sticky warming finish. Like drinking concentrated cardamom bun dough with extra syrup.

0.33l can (12.01.23 / Lot 618) with CZ friends at Beer Bottles (thanks!). Dark brown body, light, small off-white head. Huge cardamom aroma, spicy, almost no coffee and light alcohol. Lean alcohol-driven taste, cardamom, light coffee and, well, alcohol. Bit much for 11%, had 16% beers that were less boozy than this. Nice cardamom presence at least.

Draught @ Vilja Beerfest 2023 Aroma has cardamom and alcohol. Also licorice. Flavour has strong cardamom, alcohol, some licorice. A bit unbalanced but kinda works as slow sipper.
