Bottle. A dark mahogany (almost black) color with a long-lasting medium-sized beige head. Aroma of roasted malt and dark fruits. Flavor of grapes, honey, orange, and coriander with a soft mouthfeel.

A dark brown almost black beer with a fine light brown head. The aroma is very sweet and complex with notes of plum and dates. A mellow very complex flavor hits You then it turns sweet then alcoholic combined with pricklyness with notes of raisins and hints of smoke - a fantastic soft complex and filling beer - great complexity. Try it - if You can find it.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very dark golden, slightly hazy with a fine, creamy head. Lovely spicy nose. Sweetish, perhaps a bit sticky, presumably with added honey like in the original "Barbar". A pronounced bitterness manages to contain and balance the sweetness. Close enough to a German Bock, although this is top-fermented. 030200
