Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is primarily tonka beans and coconut with roasted malt, chocolate, mocha, vanilla, and some coffee. Flavour is above medium sweet with some roasty bitterness. Body is full. Very nice, lots of tonka and coconut with the tonka in particular upfront. Very much up my alley.

Bottle from Hopt. Aroma is dark malt with milk chocolate, coffee, caramel, roast, soft vanilla, mocha, sugar, touch of marshmallow and fudge. Flavour is rather sweet and a bit sugary with a decent roasty bitterness. Body is medium to full. Nicely aromatic with coffee, caramel, and chocolate, a bit too sweet and sugary for my taste, but nice.
