Draught @ C4, Odense. Pours slightly hazy very dark brown with airy beige head. Dusty aroma with notes of roast, barrel and pronounced vinous touches. Sweetish flavour of vanilla, with notes of barrel, malt and vine. Estery hints. Mildly vinous and roasty and estery aftertaste. Very pleasant, although rather far from typical examples of the style.

Draft. A black beer with a brown head. The aroma has has very strong notes of wine, fruits, and alcohol, as well as medium notes of roasted malt - crazy, but maybe over the top? The flavor is very sweet with notes of prunes, alcohol, oranges, wine, wood, dark chocolate, and roasted malt, leading to a dry roasted finish. Crazy.

Tamelijk bittere afdronk. Drinkt gemakkelijk door, zeker na een lekkere goed gevulde maaltijd

Brun tåkete med høyt hvitt skum. Litt fruktig lukt, noe karamell. Rask bitter smak som fort forsvinner.

Tap at the Delirium Cafe, Brussels. Poured a clear dark brown with a bubbly off white head. The aroma is rich sweet malt, light chocolate, light smoky notes. The flavour is moderate sweet with a slightly light, roasty, burnt treacle, yeast, ight hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Fairly drinkable but a little light and lacking flavours that I like!
