Very strong but sweet ale with a bitter after taste. Lovely honey aroma. Smells very fruity and sweet. Ideal for cold winter nights.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Sweet, hints of caramel, raisins, and cocoa. High alcohol content is highly deceptive. One of my favorites. Delicious!

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
33 cl bottle @ home, BBE 30.07.2013
Aroma is sweetish and perfume-like with dark fruits and brown sugar. Also some raisins. Flavour is rather sweet with lots of burned sugar, some toffee and raisins. Warming alcohol in the finish. Palate is a bit too high on CO2. Nice one, could be even better without the overwhelming sweetness.
