Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours a clear amber with a tiny, rough, off-white head. An aroma of mostly honey and booze. Rich, sweet maltiness with a smoky edge and only subtle sweet gale. Honeyish and caramelly and completely flat. Warming alcohol finish. Strange creation, more reminiscent of a mead. 200326

Thanks omhper! Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is some nutty tones with with some roasted malts and some slight alcohol to it. Flavour is nutty, some strong alcohol tones, mild rosted and some gluelike elements. Brutal.
