Intense, full bodied, lots of molasses, med-light tobacco. Medium chocolate, dark caramel, dried fruits. Decadent, tasty, could be more elegant though.

A black beer, a head is small and brown. Aroma has maltyness, liqurice, barrel, raisin, roastiness. Taste has sweet and malty body, raisin, dryer barrel and light roughness of rye. Full bodied, some stickyness. Lots of elements there, but the sweetness is dominating too much.

Pours black with a minimal head. Aroma of coffee, honey, roasted malt and whisky. Sweet and warming taste with notes of honey, licorice and whisky. The taste of roasted malt and warming alcohol shows up in the finish. Despite the high abv it manages to stay smooth and balanced.
