Vi er atter samlet i trygge omgivelser, og seremonimester Melberg har sørget for at denne kvelden er i sin helhet viet fatøl. Dette er kveldens andre mørke, og nesten helt svart med ok skum. Intens aroma og smak hvor alkoholen er det første som treffer meg. Deretter følger mørke dessertchokolader (type Anton Berg Madeira i blomme), kaffe og brandymarinerte rosiner.
