One of my favorite beer. It is a unique beer... No other beer can taste the same way. It is very special and tasty with lots of different aroma.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
330 ml bottle bought @ Cracked Kettle. 2009 vintage. Pours deep chestnut brown with a huge head that slowly dissipates without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is very sweet and musty with prunes, raisins, alcohol, molasses, yeast and spices. Taste is sweet and malty with sweet liquorice, lots of spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, alcohol and some hints of coffee. Finish is dray, slightly sweet, slightly acidic and rather bitter with coffee and bitter chocolate.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pour dark, deep mahogany brown, with nuthing more than a small, off-white ring of a head.
Aroma of dark fruits and spices. Lot of yeast as well.
To me, the taste is very well balanced, not too much sweetness, not too much bitterness. However, the alcohol is a bit too dominating/gives more than just heat.
Medium and sticky body, with a lot of carbonation.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
330mL bottle. Pours opaque dark brown with a thin ring of off-white foam. Aromas of dried fruit, caramel, roasted malt, some spices, quite sweet. Fairly sweet flavour, some chocolate and fruit, mildly acidic and bitter, some heat from the alcohol. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, very smooth body with a lingering roasted finish.
