Can, cortesy of Jacob (Hildigöltur)
Black color; thin creamy brown head. Nice aroma, creamy, with caramel, dark chocolate and delicate roasted malt, hint of liquorice. Medium body strength, but the flavors wrap the mouth, in order with the dark chocolate, the malt, some roasted malt and some liquorice; even some nutty touch (roasted hazelnuts); oily and salty, just lightly metallic in the end. Well brewed, well stored, very good.
