Bottle from the brewery. Looks good. Beer in the glass dark brown, small head. Intense malty-spicy sweetish aroma. Starts quite strong, malty, light alcoholic, sweetish. Some notes of liquorice, some chocolate. Notes of several sweets. Finish well balanced. Quite drinkable for its strength. Nice one!
