Moderately sweet to sweet taste, brown bread, vanilla, sweet ripe fruit and some cocoa flavours. Oily in the mouth with a lingering citrus, slightly spicy hop bitter finish.

330ml bottle. Darkest brown colour with ruby glimmer and average to huge, frothy, mostly lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Tropical fruity hoppy and chocolately dark malty aroma, notes of mango, passion fruit, guave, orange, "background-ish" hints of dark chocolate. Taste is moderately bitter hoppy, tropical fruity, minimally chalky, roasty dark malty basis, hints of passion fruit, mango, some cocoa powder, (in mouthfeel as well), subtle sweetness; lasting bitter, minimally zesty finish. Easy drinkable, sadly the fruity flavours aren’t fully reproduced in taste, neither in width nor depth.
