Aroma is chocolate syrup, ethanol, cocoa liqueur, some maple syrup, some oak, molasses, caramel, even dried fruit and walnut liqueur. Also biscuit, some chocolate cookie. A touch of lacquer. Smooth, oily, sweet, licorice, maple syrup, caramel candy, bitter chocolate syrup flavour. Nice dark chocolate bitter touch, otherwise quite sweet. Warming. Lasting sweet finish.

2023 vintage, thx Ogi for sharing with H & me! Pitch black body, no head. Huge creamy chocolate and caramel aroma, bit of maple, vanilla... actually quite a bit pleasant. Smooth maple-driven taste, salted caramel, vanilla and cocoa notes as well, some weak old wood notes, thankfully well subdued, some warming alcohol, well restrained, ending dryish. The warmth does buildy, and the barrel is slightly imperfect, but this is excellent to be fair.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is a nice wet doughy malt. Flavor is crisp bready malt a decent spicy bitter hop. Pretty God for a low ABV pils
