Hand bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of madsberg. Pours a clear orangey brown with a small, rough off-white head. Very spicy sweet chili-like aroma - again must be the cedar. Medium body, sweet caramel and nuts, a little low in carbonation. Again dominated by these amazingly interesting and exotic cedar accents. Some alcohol burn in the finsh. 161209

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of wood, brettanomyces, roasted malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of wood, soy sauce, malt, and roasted malt, as well as lighter notes of brettanomyces, and a bit of whiskey, leading to a dry woody finish. Thanks a lot MadsBerg for sharing.
