Smooth fruity and dark roasted malty flavoured with a hard roasted note and solid chocolate to light smoked and boozy. Mild peppery. Lingering roasted and dark chocolate malt flavoured into the far finish.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Very blac, corase head. Salty licorice aroma. Faily sweet with full body. Quite hoppy, so the salty licorice is complimented by a bit of fresh sparkling citric grapefruit. Salty coffee finish. Though sweet not as cloying as many Imperial stouts, nor is it inky - just fresh and tasty.
