Idiosynkrasie (17851) reviewed Sadness from Lehe Pruulikoda 2 weeks ago
Appearance - 5 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7.5 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7.5
330ml bottle. Opaque, darkest brown colour, no head; some very late awakening, tiny bubbles build a ring at the rim of the glass and disappear. Minimally alcoholic, nutty, caramel malty and minimally piney, herbal hoppy aroma, notes of caramel, some toffee, mint flavoured toffee. Taste is sweet, alcoholic, caramel malty, leafy, herbal and piney hoppy, notes of caramel, toffee, mint flavoured toffee, some treacle; warming, alcoholic finish with fruity hints of of plum wine.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine, scattered, soft to flat carbonation.
Condensed, sweet and alcoholic, not overly complex - some really flattering flavours, but somehow more sauce or liqueur than beer.
Could profitably be paired with vanilla ice or even be used as replacement for coffee liqueur - hardly to drink up without sharing.
