Bottle @ gunnfryd. Clear deep amber body under a lacing, dense beige head. Aroma has sweet malt, dry fruit and hint of wood. Taste is super smooth, sweet malt, dry fruit, mild and warming alcohol, nice oak and balanced bitterness. Borderline barley wine and imperial stout but mostly barley wine. Well made, smooth and balanced. Long lasting aftertaste.

0.7l bottle, thx H! Shared with Žminj crew. Blackish red body, no head. Cocoa, coffee, vanilla, oak and low dark fruit in the aroma, leaning on maple. Smooth taste, sweet, bitterish, dominant but well restrained maple, caramel, bit yeasty, creamy to the max, medium body tho. Bit of wood, light umami vibes, trace trace tartness, with the sweetness, bit herbal. Nice!

Аромат кофейный в основе, немного черного шоколада. Цвет черный, пенка тонкая. Вкус вроде и есть, но очень простой по сути, много кофе и зерен от него, шоколад черный.
