Been awhile since I rated this. Do remember I liked it very much though. Reallt nice dark color, might be my perfect color though you never know what you run into. Taste is fine, remember good carbonation for a 10.5ABV beer. Strong, but nice one to finish the evening.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity wall adhesive light brown foam collar which was fine and even of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has a thick dark brown color and a sweet taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a roasted malty touch . This beer smells to caramelly.
