In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with dark fruits, balsamic vinegar, alcohol warmth, woody notes, very nice and complex. Bottle at Mondiale 2025.

22 January 2025. At Café Congé, Ghent. Cheers to the Hotel Columbo quiz team!
Cloudy black, small, foamy, beige head. Aroma of pralines, treacle, molasses, candied date, dark honey, cold chocolate sauce, varnish, dark fudge, vanilla, brandy. Taste has very sweet candied date, fig & prune in a thick dark-chocolatey, dark fudge- and molasses-like malt body, only slightly balanced by a spicy note that ends with a herbal hoppy note in the finish. Dried fruits & sweetened fondant linger as well as a firm brandy-like alcohol warmth (which I expected to be even stronger at this ABV). Medium to full body, syrupy texture, soft carbonation. Dangerously sweet, too much for the style obviously, but the end result is too delicious to let that influence the score.
