Bottled. A dark brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of caramel, nuts, and alcohol, as well as lighter notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt as well as lighter notes of fruit, prunes, cocoa, and bitter nuts, leading to a bitter, roasted almost burnt finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, dark brown with a redish hue and a dense and creamy beige head. Fruity aroma - both dried and overripe fruits. Quite full-bodied with sweet dried fruits and some port accents. Subdued bitterness. 210908

50 cL bottle. Pours deep brown with a huge and light tan head. Mild roasted and slight fruity aroma. Flavour too is medium sweet and fruity. Mild yeasty note and light toasted malt. Easy and clean.

Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Dark brown, small head. Papery cocoa powder aroma. Sweetish, thin and edgy with clean hard mouthfeel. Cocoa powder fight cardboard before it mercifully fades out in a metallic finish. Agressive and poorly structured.
