Bottle. Looked nice with the large head. Dried fruit, caramel and some cola in the aroma. The taste was fruity with some caramel sweetness. Drinkable but I did feel some alcohol in the taste.

Bottle. Pours dark coppery brown with an off-white head that lasts for a short while. Nose has aromas of toffee, dark fruits, cola and grapes. Flavour is similar and slightly vinous, but not overly sweet: raisins, dates, caramel, cola, molasses and berries stand out. Medium body with a little sweetness up front and a slightly tart bitterness on the finish. A little thin but overall this is quite a good beer, alcohol very well hidden, and very easy to drink.

Bottle, 9%. Yeasty aroma, rough maltiness. Cloudy dark brown colour. Very big unstable light brown head. The flavour is also quite yeasty. There is also a lot of maltiness, some fruitiness. But not clean at all. Drinkable, but not so good.
