Bottle from Park Fever, Hither Green. Black pour with a tan head. Aromas of dark chocolate, dark roast coffee, burnt toast, smoke, caramel, hot fudge. Flavours of dark chocolate, smoke, heavy spice, soy sauce, coffee. Boozy mouthfeel almost medicinal. Lots of alcohol warmth down the gullet. Sweet spicy finish with a tinge of bitterness. Good stuff.

Smell of oak, vanilla, roasted malt, whisky. Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma of tar, oak, vanilla, licorice. Some smoke and peat in finish. Very viscous texture, flat carbon. Sweet with some bitterness. Very heavy body.

330ml bottle, B498, 2017 version, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. The oily pour reveals a fading one-finger thick espresso head leaving crocheted lacing on the glass. Deep black body. Rich aroma of dark chocolate and molasses, nicely roasted. Solid roasted malt-driven dark chocolate taste profile, hints of dark fruits beneath. Bitter roasted coffee finish, mouth filling and smooth. Just the kind of slow sipper I like to enjoy on a dark Saturday eve. (Tromsø 17.02.2018).

Flaske 330ml fra Vinmonopolet Tromsø - Sentrum. Merket 2017 men samme prosentstyrke som i 2016. (Bottled 16Nov17). Svart. Høyt brunt skum som daler veldig sakte og etterlater lett lacing. Direkte pent! Aroma av sjokolade & lakris. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken tørr sjokolade. Balansert. Blir veldig tørr & moreish etter hvert. Toppøl!
