(Draft at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 8 Nov 2025) Black colour with no head. Malty, roasted, vinous nose with espresso, chocolate, hazelnuts, oak wood and whisky. Malty, roasted, vinous taste with notes of chocolate, black coffee, treacle, soy sauce, liquorice, oak wood, whisky, hazelnuts, nougat and a generous cacao bitterness in a warming finish. Full body, sweet. Rich, powerful and complex. Still in better balance than expected. Great beer!
