Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is strong tonka beans with burnt rubber, ash, tobacco, roast, soft fruity hints, more beans, touch of honey, some vanilla. Flavour is medium sweet with an ashy bitterness. Body is medium, alcohol is well-hidden but this needs more fullness. Curious and unique, but the burnt rubber association prevents me from truly enjoying this.

Bottle. Definitely an interesting style. Pours dark brown, seems rather clear, nice lacing. Aroma is honey, chestnut, nutty. Medium to big body. Tonka bean braggot is definitely the programme with this beer! Deep dark chocolate, malt, lots of chestnut honey, vanilla and Tonka, quite sweet. Definitely weird, but interesting.

Aus der Flasche (bottled 17.10.2018 - bbe 17.10.2019) im 2020-02 getrunken. Dieses schwarze Braggot hat eine deutliche Honignote die mit etwas kämpf was ich erst nach einen Schluck deutlicher einordnen kann - Schuhcreme. Und am Gaumen ist die Schuhcreme so was von deutlich und dominierend das ich kein Schluck mehr von dem Braggot trinken kann. Das ist einfach untrinkbar! Ab in den Ausguß damit.

Brown with a creamy beige head. Lovely aroma full of vanilla, tonka beans and dark chocolate. Smells like an indulgent dessert. Tastes honey sweet, full of vanilla, chocolate, tonka. Finishes the same. Sometimes not a fan of overly sweet brews, especially if the additives dominate the underlying beer, but this one is working for me. An underlying roasted bitterness balances the sweetness. The flavors meld nicely. Probably helps that it is dessert time now. Full-bodied, mild carbonation, oily and thick. Delicious.
