Strangely medicinal. Didn’t really feel I could enjoy these odd flavors if I had more than one. Complex, but not as good as the 10.

Excelente cerveja, aromas de caramelo, trufa. Encorpada, notas de álcool bem distintas. Pouca espuma.

Pours a reddish dark brown colour with a tan head. Reasonably cloudy and head did not last for as long as I’d anticipated - perhaps due to an average pour. Initially flavour is malty, with fruits and spice to follow, ending with smooth toffee and chocolate flavours. These chocolate and caramel flavours come through stronger as the beer progresses, and the raisin and spice become more subtle. Beautifully smooth for such a complex beer, alcohol well hidden. Lovely and warming on a cold day.

0.33ml, pours a dark brown with a pale beige head. There is so much yeast in the glass it’s doing backflips with the carbonation. After a few sips, the head is spotted with the yeast and looks like little specks of cinnamon. Amazingly complex beer - malt, dark fruits (raisins, cherries, plums), spice, toffee, liquorice... alcohol on the finish. This is a fantastic beer...

Bottle. Cloudy brown pour with a fantastic frothy large tan head. Great lacing. Aroma of plums, yeast and raisins. Full taste with caramel, yeast, malt, and dark fruit present. Nice even but full finish.

Bottle. Hazy black with thick head. Complex falvor, dark and malty but also a (strange) sweet afteraste. Too much carbonation.
