On tap at Man in the Moon, Stockholm. Black with a small tan head. Aroma of vanilla, dark malt, light spices and some cherries. The same in the taste. The body was medium as was the bitterness. Quite special with some hints of "medicine" in the finish.

Sample at the Hoppin’ Frog Tasting Room. Dark brown-black color with a medium beige head that dissipates steadily to a film. Partial rings of lacing. Aroma of roast malt, cherry, vanilla and oak. Medium to full body with flavors of oaky vanilla, cherry, chocolate and malt. The finish is boozy chocolate covered dark cherry. Good beer overall.
