<i> Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. </i> Ruby/black, brief head. Evident chocolate sauce aroma. A brief cocoa sweetness that quickly turns to clean dryness. Light bodied with lots of chocolate. Lightly salty finish with medium bitterness. A bit thin, but with concentrated flavours.

<i>A Mes rate: bottle at Chirs’s for the Harry & Wolfie Fist Fest.</i><br />Dark amber colour with an off white collar. Lots of dry caramel and some decent chocolate notes. Nice dryness. A little unimaginative but nice enough.

Angry fist of Santa tasting at Chris o’s. Deep brown/ruby, thin beige head. Choc on this is pretty good. Milk choc. NIce choc. Quite one dimensional, but a good one dimension.

Bottle. Black with a thin head. Aromas are chocolate, coffee and caramel malts with earthy notes. Molasses with some smokiness. Quite hoppy. Flavours are roast, dry, earthy malts with sweet milk and bitter dark chocolate. Smooth with hints of cream. Hoppy with some addictive salt on the finish.
