Commercial Description:
Dark chocolate in color, you can see a wonderful reflection if you hold it up to the light. It is round and soft with the warm, sweet aroma of freshly roasted malted barley. A satisfying, malty taste, with coffee-ish tones and a hint of plummy fruitiness in the finish. Complex and beautifully balanced.

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark brown, clear beer with a light brownish head. Lovely malty character with some light caramel- and toffee notes. Very clasical for it’s style, but a bit too heavily carbonated. 010502
