Shared at Palace Hall, Malmö March 2024 tasting (23/03/2024) - sweet caramel and toffee sticky malty notes in play, some dark dried fruit, nutty accents, smooth full bodied, vanilla and well balanced coconut into the warming lingering malty close. Works so well, beautiful.

Bottle at share. Black with tan head. Quite unique in both aroma and taste. Insanely luscious body with velvet chocolate and a bit of nuttiness. Burnt sugar en masse together with exotic wood, cinnamon. Very interesting, quite good.

Boozy, oily, strong bourbon and vanilla, can't really find the hazelnuts. Licorice in the finish, rich, tasty. Very nice.
