| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 29, 2007 Bottled 50cl. It pours a black beer with a beautiful fluffy dark beige head. The nose is of eucalyptus, port, dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, cane sugar with hints of cherries and oats. Slightly woody. Full, sweet aromas which deliver quite a punch. The taste is salty with coffee, raisins, dark chocolate and caramel showing up. Lots of oats. Some molasses appearing. Full bodied. The finish is salty with coffee accompanied by milky, woody elements. AmazonMatt (284), Panama
