330ml bottle bought at La Velo Brewery in Palma de Mallorca. The oily pour reveals a deep black body under a filmy layer, scattered lacing. Attractive smooth aromas of oily-like chocolate, nicely roasted. Powerful and well blended taste of chocolate, a hint of syrup, coffee, and liquorice. Rounded roasted bitter ending with warmth from the alcohol. Long lived and full bodied. Excellent sipper. (Hotel room, Port de Sóller 16.07.2023).

From a bottle in Le Bièrographe, Toulouse, France. Pours black with small, short-lived tan head. Aroma has roasted malt and soy sauce - not expected but not unpleasant. Flavour is sweet but not cloying and doesn't last long on the palate. Notes of caramel and toasted malt. Has quite a strong sweet and malty flavour initially, but doesn't overpower. Definitely not a dessert beer. Would highly recommend and would drink again, given the opportunity.
