Svart med lys brunt skum. Lukter røstet malt, tørket frukt og karamell. Meget fyldig. smaker røstet malt, mørk karamell, sjokolade, litt lakris og vanilje. Søt!

Bottle, 375ml at Apollon Tønsberg. It's close to pitch black in the glass, with s small dark beige head. The aroma has a vinous touch, with alcohol, coffee, dark chocolate, toffee, oak, hints of vanilla, caramel, some leather, berries and licorice. Faint notes only of licorice, tobacco and berries. It's velvety, smooth and very softly carbonated, sweet, with some bitterness. Warming. The flavor is pretty much like the aroma, except it's feeling sweeter. And perhaps more alcoholic. Everlasting finish. A complex and tasteful one indeed, although a bit on the sweet side. 240619
