Bottle @ Patricks. Almost black body with a big creamy beige head. Aroma has dark malt, light, smooth coffee and a very pleasant subtle touch of undefined spices. Pleasant, smooth flavor of moderate roasted dark malt, hint of coffee, hint of dark chocolate, slightly spicy without being able to pick up any particular – gives a feeling of something between Christmas cookies and spicy pie with pepper, there is also some kind of fruitiness here. Quite tasty, still very easy and smooth drinkable and I really love this refined small things that’s a bit difficult to place. Medium body and pleasant aftertaste. Quite an interesting beer this is if you are willing to give it some time to play with you're taste palette.
