Blom (568), Odense, Denmark Apr 21, 2008 Black with a fine brown head. Sweet aroma of candy sugar, dried fruits, coffee and alchol. The flavours are way too sweet with some roasted malts that cannot however keep the cloying sirup-like feeling down. The palette is nice though, soft and creamy.

Haeavy licorice aroma. Thock and malty, very solid. From nose to finish it makes the journey fromraw licorice and tar to milky smooth chocolate.
