50cl bottle pours a thick, viscous black, a ring of off white head and long legs. Nose has molasses, licorice, vanilla, coconut, curry powder, cardamom, chocolate ice cream. Flavor has lots and lots of suntan lotion and vanilla yogurt, chocolate. Thick and sweet finish. WOOO.

Poured a silky, motor oil color. Wispy tan head. Aroma was coffee. Smooth. Vanilla and toasted coconut. Light almond Joy. Definitely the herbal component came in late on this one - some mild cardamom, slight anise?

Maple syrup, caramel, roast. Coffee, black chocolate, tobacco. Pretty nice stuff. A little too syrupy and sweet for my taste, but still pretty well done. Black pour with decent head and lacing. Bittersweet end. Tap at 4th Anniversary party.
