4.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
I only had a sip or two of this, but it really blew my mind and I wanted to bookmark it. Absolutely wonderful- intense malt and hop profile, with a complexity that a couple sips just couldn’t pin down. Boozey without being overwhelming, bitter in the best way, and with the perfect finish I’d love to have every time. Absolutely a work of art.

Kraftig fyllig aroma med inslag av chocklad. Vid första smak verkar ölen söt och välbalanserad, men på slutet viker den av och visar en viss besk karaktär.
