Bottle thanks to Bursprak! Thanks buddy :) Been wanting this for a while! Pours pitch black with a medium dark brown head. Aromas of sweet cherries, raisins, dry licorice, fresh fruity coffee, malts, dark dried fruits and some bitter chocolate along with a nice hoppy base. Taste is fruity, dark dried fruits, raisins, coffee, english licorice, chocolate filled licorice, hops, some minty-like licorice aswell. Very nice!

Bottle @ UDRM, Oirschot. Deep dark brown color, almost opague. Caramel, butterscotch, cassis in the aroma. A fluid chocolate cake with caramel, creme de cacao and cappuccino flavors. Sugary finish with molasses an Tia Maria liquor. Sticky and alcoholic. Too sweet to be really great, but indeed a flavor bomb..

Pitch black color. Massive molasses, dark chocolate, tons of brown sugar, dark cherries, marshmallows with a bit of port. Wow. Amazing depth. Sticky sweet mouth with tons of dark chocolate, port, brown sugar in the mouth. Very full body. The mouth isn’t as deep as the nose but the abv is so well hidden. Excellent
