Bottle [thanks to RW80] @ home. Opaque black color, medium to full sized light brown head that lasts for quite a while and leaves good lacing. Aroma is malts, dark malts, some roast, some alcohol, light chocolate. Taste malts, alcohol, alcohol, lightly liquor. Well, not too bad. Bit alcoholic but ok.

(Draught at Café Briljant, Haarlem, 15 Sep 2016) Dark ruby red colour with dense, beige head. Malty, spicy nose with notes of caramel, chocolate, liquorice and anise. Malty, roasted taste with dark fruit, caramel, chocolate, liquorice, anise, hints of sour berries and a balanced spicy bitterness. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Interesting and quite tasty with a balanced touch of liquorice and anise. Nice one.
