Bottle shared with my bro. It pours oily jet oily black with a quickly dissipating tab head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, oily, unctuous, intense coffee vibes, earthy, hard roast, syrupy, burnt toast, nutty, biscotti and praline. The taste is dry, hard roasted, oily, bitter, rich roasted malt, unctuous, oily, thick and filthy, nutty, not much vanilla, liquorice, toothy, umami, spicy, burnt toast and toothy with dry toasty finish. Full body, light carbonation and oily mouth feel. More burnt vibes. Could actually be done with more sweetness. Fun, but only in small measures.

Crowler de et partagé avec Vincent. Merci.
Orange trouble, col blanc-cassé épais.
Arôme est légèrement funk-sour avec une charge d'abricot bien présenté - un effet cocktail tropical - rétro fin sur les agrumes;
Palais est marqué par l'abricot, funk, le tout rend fortement bien l'abricot - effet poilu et charnu du fruit et touche de purée.
Finement citrique sur la fin avec une petite pointe de pamplemousse et une épaisseur persistante en bouche.
Ok mais si je veux boire un jus de fruit - je ne prends pas une bière.
