Bottle. Pours dark brown - nose/taste of oxidized caramel, burnt bread, molasses and sherry - medium body.
Poured a clear dark brown with a reddish hue and a light frothy head. The aroma is big creamy caramel fudge roasted malt alcohol. The flavour is strong bitter with a smooth boozy alcohol bitter palate. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation and an oily texture. This is a super smooth, flavour packed whale of a beer where the higher ABV really adds to this beer which isn’t always the case. Taste it if you can and i’m sorry for you you guys that can’t.

Bottled, thanks cquiroga! Cloudy dark ruby, creamy beige head. Well oaked vanilla aroma. Sweet and very malty, full bodied. Salty and intense with menthe and licorice. Notes of molasses and wood. Fairly bitter finish. Feels exclusiev and refined, but doesn’t quite follow through on the fantastic aroma.
