COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The nose is filled with complex notes of figs, fruitcake, port, licorice, cherry, raisin chocolate, black toffee, coffee and caramel, while it tastes deliciously thick and chewy, with great complexity showing notes of fruits, coffee-roastiness, molasses, licorice, and toffee. This beer is a meal!

Bottled. Deep reddish copper colour, small bubbly brown head, which disappears quickly. Caramel and alcohol strikes nose at first, with some breadish hints at a closer look. Sweet caramellish flavour with weak hints of roasted malt. Weak alcoholic flavour is present too, but fits the flavour very good. A bit roasted and sweet fruity aftertaste.
