Aroma:Very prominent, very complex, some grains of malted barley, a lot of yeast of very good quality(nobel quality), some cognac aroma, very fresh and fruity,bready, malted barley, dark braed with a lot of grains, very natural, some notes of alcohol but well build as for that kind of beer, aroma of some barley wine.
Flavour:Caeamel, cherry, strong alcohol in the background, very essencial, a lot of extract from malts, toasted,the bitterness is rather from burned malts and is quite harsh on palate giving the impression together with sparkling carbonation on palate. Very grainy, malty, toasty, harsh alcoholic, accidic, tongy, not smooth and not oily, some hints of essencial dark chockolate or cacao and coffee, hints of very intense bitterness on palate, cognac and on the other hand fruitiness and even hints of roastiness.
