375ml bottle stored for quite a few years in my cellar. Bought at Nørrebro Brygghus, shared with Richard and Finn. Low, tan-coloured head. Deep black body with a rustic shade. Scattered lacing. Smell of dark bread, liquorice and oak. Berry fruits and dark malts with coffee and liquorice come together very well to the flavour profile. Port-like impression. Long-lived, warming finish. Full bodied. Velvety smooth on the swallow. Excellent slow sipper (Tromsø 08.10.2016).

Bottle shared at Scopey’s 10K, many thanks to Leighton. Black with a small bubbly tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate, redcurrant, port and booze. Nice. Body is medium, tingly carbonation, smooth. Taste is dark chocolate, meaty, molasses, pretty dry into the finish. A bit more meaty and oxidised than the red wine version. But great nonetheless.
