Dunkler, stark röstiger Beginn mit dezenter Süße. Schokoladenmalz, im Mittelteil schnell trocken werdend. Das drückt die Aromatik erheblich, noch wenig bitter, Schokoladenaromen sind fast gänzlich verschwunden. Sehr kurzer Nachgeschmack. 9/8/7/6/9/7

Many thanks to Beerhunter111 and Koelschtrinker for sharing. Malty beginning. Herbal hints, but not too intense. Not much bitterness, the herbs are in the aftertaste, malt there with a nice malty bitterness. Interesting but not too much herbs there.

Many thanks to Beerhunter111 and Koelschtrinker for sharing. Smooth malty beginning. Easy to drink with hints of wood and nice round Cognac body. The malt is in the background, no bitterness with lots of nice malty wood. Very nice!
