Bottle from HavnensVinOgTobak. Pours clear dark ruby brownish read with huge offwhite head. Aroma is intense malt, caramel, fudge, dried fruit, English wine gums, port wine, molasses, perfumed soap, vanilla, oak and spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, pepper). Taste is medium sweet, medium bitter, light acidic and faint to light salty. Body is oily with fizzy carbonation. Finish is long and mostly sweet but also with a nice bitterness and fruity sourness and with notes of malt, caramel, cookies, chocolate, molasses, English wine gums, ruby port wine, oak and spice (perhaps the high ABV comes through as pepper notes?). Very rich but still well balanced.
