330ml can @ Benzai's Anti-Carnival Valentine's Day Tasting, Feb 26. Pours an unclear deep amber, off-white head. Sticky sweet caramel is the order of the day .. that's about it .. a touch over-sweet, a bit sticky, moderate bitter finish.

Aus der Flasche im 2026-02 getrunken. Dieses mahagonifarben Ale zeigt ein vordergründiges Aroma was ich nicht zuordnen kann und irgendwo nach leicht rauchig und Amburana Einfluss erinnert. Was der Mezcal sein kann. Dazu finden sich Aromen von Sauerteig, Trockenfrüchte und Amarena Kirschen. Der hohe Alkoholgehalt ist perfekt eingebunden und vollkommen (gefährlich) unauffällig.

Bottle shared at Anti-carnavalstasting 2026. Amber color, small off-white head. Smell and taste malts, leaves, bitter. Meh. Not a fan.

Black with a thin dark head. Big malty notes, booze, black pepper, baking spice, chocolate, faint raisin, earth. Full bodied. Finish is warm with spice. I wish the booze was rounded off just a touch but it’s not a deal breaker by any stretch. A big, bold beauty especially in the winter months.
St Nicolas!!!

Bottle at home. Opaque black color, medium sized light brown colored head. Aroma is lightly malty, vanilla, soft coffee. Flavor is malts, again firm vanilla and soft coffee. Fairly sweet without being annoying. Quite nice.

Galea Koko Barik 14.5%
Bottle shared at tasting. Opaque black color, average sized brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, soft roast, liquor (bourbon?), fortunately don't get a lot of cocos, somewhat sweet but with a solid bitter finish. Very solid. Total surprise. But very pleasant. 8-8-8,5-9-8,5

Galea - Little Black Dragon
Bottle shared at tasting. Opaque black color, small beige to light brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, heavy roast, peppers in there for sure and they actually add something to the beer and even though I think the 14,5% is over the top, overall it's not bad. 8-7-7-8-7
