Consumed at ’t Arendsnest, Amsterdam, May 2006
Dark as a stout (though sampled in low light) with a tall, light tan head. Some smoked malt (light) and licorice scents. Light texture, lacking any thickness. Light caramel, maple malt flavors, grainy almost. Very little hop presence, but has some decent cherry chocolate chewy flavors in the finish.
