Bottle.
Strong liquorice aroma. Diesel oil, quite rough. Maybe the rye does not add much to the proceedings. Dry, on the sour side.

37,5 cl bottle @ Timo A. Rated on 16.05.2011
Aroma has oil, berries, oaky notes and vanilla. Flavour is really bitter in a harsh way – feels like a spoiled bottle of Dark Island Reserve. It has some rubber and burned malt. Not good.
