Много шоколада, очень мягкое тело, бочка прям сильная, есть и дерево и карамельные ноты от мартини или другого спирита. Крутой паб кстати.

330ml can. Pours very dark brown with no head. Aroma is tonka and coconut, with a little sweet bourbon. Taste has sweet coconut to start with a tonka finish.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just about a clear deep amber brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, pretty modest dark chocolate, the espresso coffee is much more evident but also pleasingly smooth. Martini fruity herbal tang coming through in the mid. Mild bourbon soaked ripe fruits on the back end. Everything is singing together and very smooth. Nice job, well thought out and delivered and very drinkable.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 18/01/25.
Lighter shade of black topped with a thinnish beige cap that dissipates to a swirl.
Nose is cacao nibs, tonka bean, coffee grinds, spice, dark malts, charr, molasses.
Taste comprises tonka bean at the front, espresso notes, roasted bite, hint of martini, vanilla essence, molasses, mellow barrel strokes.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Tidy impy but the Tonka bean, as much as I like it in a beer, just over powers the barrel aging a little too much for me.
