3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
330 ml bottle, poured into a snifter. Bottle 1144/2850. ABV 9%
Black colour on the body, with half a finger of brown thick head on top.Low retention, no lacing left on the glass.
Chocolate on the aroma, stronger notes of coffee and some alcohol notes
The taste follows the aroma, only now is the chocolate flavour stronger and the coffee’s one becomes more notable on the aftertaste. Lightly bitter. Just a tiny hint of the alcohol.
Quite thick body, good amounts of carbonation.
Nice beer, even better when it starts to warm up a bit.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very dark brown body and small creamy tan head. Lots of milk chocolate, red berries, light booze, very refined yet rich. Very nice mouth feel, smooth yet filling, foamy. Lacing your tongue worth chocolate boozy goodness. Very nice roasted malts. Still room for improvement, but a great sipper already. Perhaps the alcohol shines through a bit too much. Great chocolate malts though. (33cl bottle traded with Rob)
