From the barrel through the bunghole at the source. Black color. Tannic aroma. Taste has booze, dark roast coffee, lots of tannins. A big beer.

33cl Bottle sample at the brewery. Black colour, beige head. Aroma of vanilla, sweet, roasted malts, chocolate, alcohol. Flavour is quite sweet, sugar, roasted malts, chocolate, alcohol, vanilla, bittersweet finish with some fruity sweetness. Medium bodied at best. Too sweet for me.

Flavour is medium sweet, malty, chocolate, roast, ink/tar, some coffee, bitter finish. Medium bodied. Sounds like a lot of roast, but is actually quite sweet. Nice, but wasn’t blown away.
