Bottle. An unclear dark brown beer with a small beige head leaving some lacing. Brown sugar, dark dried fruit, some bready roasted malts and a light spiced hint in the aroma. Raisin, prune. Alcohol, toffee, some coffee. It's sweet and full-bodied, warming and nicely carbonated, with a nice bitterness. Brown sugar, dark dried fruit, some roasted malts and hints of coffee in the flavor. Some spiced hints too. Lasting sweet, warming finish. And finally some honey kicking in. A bit too sweet, but nice indeed. 241110

So rich and intensiv. Madeira "notes" are loud and clear, but it's refreshing and delectable like an after-dinner wine. 😋
