Dark brown with a fine head. Sweet aroma of dried dark fruits, caramel and citric orange. Mind blowing flavours of toffee, a bit of chocolate and caramel. This is really something!

Bottle: Poured a deep brown color ale with a nice thick foamy head with great retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of sweet barley malt is very enticing. Taste is a nice balance between some sweet barley malt with notes of caramel. Full body with great carbonation and no alcohol was apparent. Very well done but unfortunately this is lacking character and I couldn’t justify paying that kind of rpice for that experience more then once.

Cloudy brown with mad off-white bubbles. Gushed despite very careful opening. However, a quickly disappearing head. Aroma of milk chocolate, bubblegum, caramel, and pineapple with touches of herbs and pepper making it a little interesting. Sweet cocolate flavour with licorice and pepper. Caramel sweetness makes it a little cloying. I thought I noticed a little brettanomyces in the finish. Slightly funky, and may also go with the pineapple aroma.

Flaske: Flot mørkebrun øl med et livligt skum. Lækker afbalanceret smag af nødder og chokolade, hvor alkoholen er en del af øllen i modsætning til sin lyse bror. Virkelig en treat.

Pours deep noir into a trappist glass. Biege head with excellent retention leaves sheets and recedes to coat surface. Pit fruit aromas. Creamy with dark caramel, maple and pit fruit. Lasting, dusty finish.
