Bottle at the flat in Gabrovo - picked up from a store in Varna. Pours clear brown with a decent, foamy tan head. Medium sweet flavour with nice, lightly sugary and silky chocolate, some brown bread, well-toasted biscuits, a hint of earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Just a touch of warmth in the finish, more smooth chocolate character, soft roast. Really drinkable. Quite solid.
