evil twin, the bad brother, bart .. . pours a quite dark brown black .. good solid foam .. . summertime .. . deep roast, tar, and charcoal .. . long linger but quick mouth, a touch ashy .. . pretty good beer but if anything, one dimensional .. . . donation for cancer? that doesn’t sound like a very fair trade.

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.
