33 cl bottle @ home. Batch #388, BBE 13.03.2025 Aroma has strong vanilla tones and some fruitiness. Also licorice and baking stuff. Flavour has vanilla, some odd chili vibes, liquor and cinnamon. Also coffee. Ununusual and odd, perhaps a bit out of balance but somewhat enjoyable.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Black, small head. Perfumy rose water with milk chocolate and vanilla. Very sweet with medium to full body and rounded mouthfeel. Perfumy rose water and milk chocolate. Warming finish. Dominated by auxilliary flavouring, using the beer as a backdrop. Pretty decent for doing so. nd the flavouring agents are pretty interesting.
