500ml bottle. Pours pink with a massive gushing foamy pink head. Aroma is cherry, almonds. Taste is cherry and moderate bitterness. You can actually taste the base beer. Still, can't say that I enjoyed it.

BOTTLE 37,5 CL. Pitch black, thick espresso head. Rich chocolate aroma with sticky dark tracks and toasted marshmallows, notes of grassy hops and just a hint if spicy alcohol - very good and clean. Big luscious sticky chocolate and molasses, maple syrup. Yeah, it’s sweet, thick and somewhat sticky, but hell, tasty! And there’s just enough drying palate numbing alcohol and hop bitterness to balance. Very good.

Can sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks Max. Clear golden with a white head. Nice citric and "green" hops aroma, a bit like hop pellets. Flavor has some sweetness, and bitter "green" and slightly citric hops. Medium-bodied. Slightly too sweet, but pretty nice.
