Pours black with a small light brown diminishing head. Smells of alcohol and toasted malts. Sweet and slightly bitter with aromas of dark chocolate, prunes, wood and tobacco. Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Also some minerals. Metallic, bitter finish.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is slightly oxidized combined with notes of over ripe fruits and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of chocolate, malt, and bread, but also with a slight touch of oxidation combined with a light hop bite.
