3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark brown color; creamy head. Nice aroma, not too strong, balanced, perfumy, where some nice hop preveals over the sweet caramel; in a short while the hop increases. Medium thick mouthfeel, quite oily, with strong malt/caramel flavor, some sugars, just balanced by an equally strong hopping. The final is less hop-aromatic than expected, maybe even less long (or is it the caramel to be too much?). But very good indeed (hedonistic).

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bright ruby brown with a huge head that froths up high and falls down fast. Sounds like falling snow. Interesting aroma - charred, plummy, woody, brown sugary with canned tomato. Not terribly cohesive but it’s interesting. Full body with a big warming alcohol splash. Chocolately body with lots of burntness though it’s not very acrid thankfully. Some plummy, fruity depths, again, more interesting than cohesive. I’m sure with this much alcohol this beer would wear thin quickly.
