A strong craft beer, with a marked roasted malt flavour that reminds Bellini’s priestess stubborn personality. In the end, chestnuts give a surprising and delicate aftertaste.

Murky brownish. Aroma is hibiscus toffee rose a good portion of abbey yeast (imagine a decent dubble) and notes of vanilla and chocolate. Taste is bitter slight boozy yeasty base with good toffee flavours and oaky vanilla notes. Small bubbled mouthfeel and a long finish of toffee and chestnut actually. Balanced. I almost forgive this bottle for gushing.
