(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of sk8viking. Pours a clear, dark brown with a warm tint of red and a dense, cappuchinoish head leaving a neat lacework. Sweetish, somewhat peppery hop aroma. Medium body, a little low in carbonation with a very smooth mouthfeel. Notes of caramel and nuts - perhaps a little coffee also. A subdued bitterness. 171107

Black color; big creamy head. Mild and milky aroma of roasted malt. Good body strength; good mix of flavors, with caramel and chocolate malt, but maybe the roasted malt wins over them; the flavor is still quite sweet, even if the bitterness is correct; a bit dusty. In the end, there is more a milky roasted malt aftertaste. Very balanced brew, good.
