All kinds of sugar ad spice in this beer. Aroma has hops booze and candied malt. Pours cloudy red. Aroma has strong bitterness and light sweetness. A good tug o war on the palate that comes off a bit on the inconsistent side. Thick consistency and boozy aftertaste. Friday sample bottle at volos.

500 ml bottle. Pours a garnet red brown with little head. Strong sweet aromas of toffee, malt, strawberries, and resin. Tastes like liquid toffee and alcohol, with bitter orange and other dried fruit notes. Very warm but very nice. A favorite.
