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.
