0.75 l bottle from the brewery's web shop, best before October 2027. Very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty, slightly fruity aroma of chocolate, caramel, toasted hazelnut, fruity whisky, some vanilla and a touch of dark fruits. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, gently roasty and slightly fruity taste of caramel, chocolate, coffee, toasted hazelnut, fruity whisky, some vanilla and light dark fruits, followed by a short, moderately roasty-bitter, a little boozy finish. Full body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Delicious brew, so much more complex than the base beer. Superb balance, round and harmonious, much better than their Bourbon Bock.
