330ml bottle online from the brewery, Pours opaque very dark brown with a cream coloured head. Aroma: caramel, molasses, candy sugar, alcohol. Taste: moderate sweet, heavy malty, caramel, liquorice, light spices, all dominated by big boozy notes. Medium to heavy body, soft carb, semi dry close. Not sure why I hung on to this for so long, it's not very drinkable, much too boozy

All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di caffè, fruttato e speziato. L'olfatto viene sollecitato in maniera elevata, permanendo in maniera apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone chiaro è destinato a vita breve. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Bollicine fini costituiscono la forma del perlage. Il colore è come l'inchiostro nero. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è contenuto. L'intensità gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. In bocca l'aroma porta impressioni di caramello, miele, caffè, agrumi, cannella, banana, frutta passita, etilico e alcol presente.
