Bottle from a trade with Grumbo, thanks! Aroma is strong vanilla, dark malt, caramel toffee, coffee, soft roast, bit artificial cocoa and a touch of butterscotch. Flavour is above medium sweet and moderate bitter. Body is almost medium with low carbonation. Has an artificial touch, bit weak on the palate, could have used a richer body. Hardly bad though.
