0.375 l bottle from BeerLovers, Vienna, shared with Ogi. Dark brown, ochre hue, minimal head. Aroma is chocolate and cocoa with a hint of oak and smoke. Sweet caramely and chocolate flavour, peat smoke nicely lingers in the back, giving a salty impression. Thick, chewy, warming. Molasses and dark fruits, salted caramel flavour emerge. Quite rich, moderate complexity, alcohol hidden. Full body. Finishes sweet.
