Can from mikkeller shop. very dark brown practically black, dark brown head. Aroma is dominated by honey and sweet bakery cake, also brown sugar, roasted malts. flavor is roasted malts, honey, some weird almost herbal bitterness, could be hops clashing with the honey sweetness. in any case, comes off unbalanced and clashing, sort of like if you put apples into a bag of fresh bread and keep it for some hours. Almost peppery at times, not bad, but not smooth or well balanced. Thanks for trying though, we don't know how it tastes until it has been tried.
