Commercial Description:
The complexity of this limited edition brew comes from the interplay between the roasted nutty undertones of Crystal, Chocolate and Black malts and the sweetness of orange blossom honey. Balance is achieved by the addition of Warrior and Tettnang hops. Ample body and smooth mouth feel enhance drinkabilty. Don't get stung and miss this one! 6.25% alcohol by volume.

Bottle. Dark brown with a large white head. Slightly smokey and sweet. Fruits? Chocolate. Medium body. Carbonated which makes it a bit harder to pour but not that bad otherwise. Not bad at all :-)

Black with a quality head. This beer has a nice balanced flavor, roasted and mildly sweet. Goes down easy.

Bottle at home ... Thanks to me for buying this in Sweden ... Deep brown ... smokey nose little honey ... over fizzy ... rich toasted oats ... roast malts ... some liquorish in linger.

Pours a dark amber with a thick off white head. Aroma of honey and dark fruits. Flavor was similar, with plenty of licorice and caramel. Too carbonated, kind of ruined it. Meh.

12 oz bottle. Dark reddish brown color with thick peige head. Strong sweet, flowery and fruity honey aroma with notes of chocolate, licorice and hazelnuts. Dryer yet very honeyish flavor. Chocolate, coffee and nuts gradually come through behind honey. Tasty!

Deep reddish colour with a tan head. Malty aroma with a honey/ caramel sweetness. Malty, fruity flavor with a light sweet note. Light dry and vague bitter finish.
