Thin brown head left a spotty cover on a still black body. Aniseed, malt & boozed up aroma. Full bodied, soft, smooth & cloying. Malt, chocolate, liquorice, smokey & brandy tastes with tangy finish. Big hitter.

Can picked up from Etre Gourmet webshop, Grez-Doiceau, Belgium consumed in Frank staying at Weihenstephan brewery Thursday 23rd December 2021, after a fab'meal at the Bräustüberl Weihenstephan. Pours black with a light beige head. Bitter chocolate and coffee on the nose. In the mouth this is bitter, roasty with the aforementioned coffee and chocolate returning again, dark cocoa. This is a lovely beer.

330ml can from Vinmonopolet Nettbutikk. Shared with Finn. Low tan-coloured head, pitch black body, scattered lacing. Appealing dark malty aromas, chocolate and liquorice, nicely roasted. Well balanced taste profile of dark chocolate, bread, and liquorice. Long roasted bitter tail. Smooth in the mouth and full bodied. Nice slow sipper, warming down the swallow. (Bergstua, Malangen 16.06.2021).
