Black with medium brown head. Aroma is hazelnuts, frangelico, fish, duplo, hanuta, chocolate, nougat, everything. Taste is quite dry dark chocolate, a bit umami, quite much roast. Not so smooth. Aroma promised more.

Nose is hazelnut, nutella, duplo, hanuta. Palate is toasted nuts, chocolate, dried dark fruits. Yummy!

Bottle, many thanks martjoobolut! Black color with beige head. Aroma is hazelnuts, black chocolate, leathery. Taste is hazelnuts, chocolate, earthy, leathery, roasted nuts, hanuta. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Nice, maybe a bit too burnt.

Pours darker orange, huge foamy head that just refuses to come down. Sour-fruity nose. Yes, I kind of know what this means. This means that the beer is way past its prime and it is staring to go sour. Still more than 1 year left in BBD department, so my guess is that they just gave it 2-3 years life expectancy, somewhat more than this beer deserved. Funnily enough, some beers actually benefit from this sour-funky addition and this might be one example. Taste has some light bitterness, left, lightly fruity and then this funky barnyard thing, probably contamination in this case but feels like brett and horse blanket - which I also tend to like when done well. More bitterness remains in the linger, quite long and dry one. Not too bad, although by far not the beer I expected to find from this bottle. Probably overrated this by a huge margin - but I like funky, even if unintentional.

Clear amber. Mint chocolate nose, similar and quite sweet flavour pretty amazing how they could copy this kind of unique taste. Herbal body and long drybherbal even medicinal linger there . Interesting stuff.

Found an old note. Pours copper, bit of foam. Aroma has slight sourness, citrus hops, sweet caramel backbone. Tastes thick and sturdy, citrus hops and caramel sweetness. Sort of reminds me a robust British IPA. 6,5% abv is also perhaps a bit too much for a Pale Ale to stomach, so yep, malty British IPA sounds somewhat closer. Overall, bit too sweet and heavy for me, was hoping for something else.
