Strong aroma of mixed malts and Caramel. Very thick malty taste. Hint of smoked coffee, caramel, bitter choclates, toffee. A good mix of sweet and bitter. Malts overtake the sweetness slightly.

Very malty aroma with a bit of floral hops.Taste is malty also, with a touch of brown sugar. A bit of hops at the end, but not enough to balance the sweetness.
