Bottle. Color: Black, fast disappearing thin brown head. Aroma: Black tea. Taste: Mix of roasted malt, black tea, subtle honey and subtle Bourbon. Spicy notes. Warming mouthfeel. Full body, below average carbonation. Medium sweet, moderate to over moderate hop- and tea-bitterness, mostly at the finish. Nice complexity, wrll balanced with the tea. Nice one.
