COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Colour and sight: Dark brown-red. A compact white-yellow, stable and lacing head. Scent: Touches of caramel, mocha and chocolate. Spices such as liquorice and coriander are also present. Flavour: Initially, a very good mouthfeel of alcohol and softness. This is followed by an increasing bitterness, partially from the hop, but also from the roasted malt and chocolate malt. Towards the end a nice balance between bitterness, sour and sweet.

Trying this to help me get a good nights sleep, hoping to avoid the delirium and pink elephants. Begins with sweetness, ends with bitterness. Fruits and caramel. Seems even stronger than it’s abv-% would suggest.

I bought this beer only for the fact that it had a pig on the bottle. After drinking the beer I think it might have been made for pigs. I would have gotten a better experience by letting fig newtons ferment in a gallon of water.
