33 cl. bottle @ home, bought online @ het Biermoment. Very dark brown with a thin beige head and lots of floaties and sediment. Chocolate and sweet coffee aroma. Taste is quite bitter with more coffee shining through. Cloying mouthfeel, lots of residual sugars for sure, but strangely enough thin bodied as well. A bit one-dimensional and unbalanced.

Bottle @ Kings Day Tasting 2018. Dark brown color with a dark red glare coming through when held into the light, average sized light brown colored head. Smell and taste malts, liquorice, maybe even slightly salty. A bit weird. Meh.
