Draft. Black beer with a dark cream head. Chocolate and rum aroma. Rum and chocolate flavor with toasted coconut. Medium bodied. Toasted coconut lingers with chocolate and rum.

Not that good at all. Cheap bourbon overkill, alcoholic. Very thin. Taste is a lot of bourbon, some cold coffee and some bitterness. This needs way more body and flavours of the base. Might have been a bad bottle? Otherwise vastly overrated.

35,5 cl can @ Bierlokaal Locus Publicus Aroma has caramel and resiny malt. Flavour has minerals, some resiny malt and grapefruity hops. A tad too dry but decent anyway. Faithful to the style.
