Cocoa, roast, light lacto sweetness and dark bread in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with subtle roast, burnt bread, cocoa and some ash. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Semi-sweet finish with charcoal, some cocoa and burnt earth bitterness. Very decent beer.

Bottle, thanks to Leighton at his Beer, Bocce and Boozer tasting. It pours almost black, with a thin beige head. The nose is salted liquorice, chocolate, caramel and seawater. The taste is roasted malt, milk chocolate hint of smoke, caramel, nut and salted liquorice, with a dry-roasted finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not bad.

75 cl bottle from Mitra Middenweg (A’dam) @ home. Clear, amber color, off white, sticky head. Once the head fades strong wood aroma’s (oak, vanilla) come up, with some sweet malt in the background. Flavor is medium bitter, still with wood notes (oak). Body is medium. Finishes with a medium bitterness. Interesting to say the least, and pretty good.
