Nice light brown creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is mild and sweet roasted, lactose, dark malts, hay, grass, roasted grain, caramel, sour-ish coffee, hints of butterscotch. Taste is slightly dry sour-ish roasted, hay, burnt caramel, dark malts, burnt grain, grass, paper, bark, fresh wood, roasted coffee. Medium to longlasting bitterness, slightly dry and harsh mouthfeel. Fair enough, not really my cup of tea...

0,33L bottle, batch 028. Pours dark brown-black with light brown head. The head stays for a moment. Aroma is roast, sweetness, sour notes, some alcohol, some smoke and coffee. Flavor is roast, coffee, dark chocolate, licorice, nuts, fruity citric notes. Finish is long coffee-roast bitter. Alcohol is well covered. Overall: great brew. Rating 7:4:8:4:15=3.8 Batch 158, rated 02.01.2016. Feels very hot, a lot of alcohol coming through in aroma and flavor, more intense roast, less citrus, no nuts. Not sure why it is so highly rated now, was better when I tried the 028 batch. New bottle rating: 6:4:7:3:14=3.4 Maybe not a good batch or it just too fresh (may taste better after couple of months), still brewery released it in this state so it’s fair to rate it, new rating is between these 2. Will have tasting of aged versions soon and update rating accordingly. Batch 028, BB 04.05.15, rated 23.01.2018. This is hitting peak right now. Wasn't impressed with this batch in 12.2016 when we opend the bottle, but this is woah at the moment. 7:4:9:5:14=4.4
