Something surprisingly oldschool and traditional from these lactose kings. Heavy, super roasty and salty, but surprisingly easy considering the flavour intensity. Maybe a tad watery body, but the flavour makes up for it.

0,44l can at home shared by Stefan, big thanks. BB 20.10.2021. black color, small coffee colored head. smells earthy, light smoke, nutty, hazelnut, spices, marzipan, nice rather subtle smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes earthy, nutty, hazelnuts, marizpan spices, some soy sauce, peppery. finishes roasty bitter with notes of nuts, spices and some soy sauce. not bad, not that great, on the boozy side, not that smooth, lacks complexity, good but expected more.

Can. Chose this amongst available beers to try from this brewery because it was the only one without cake in it, before realizing it was quite so strong. Very dark brown with a fading tan head. Aroma of fudge, mocha, some pine and spices. Not obviously boozy. More so upon a taste though -- it's not hot but under the almost ingratiating silky mocha there's a booming warmth. Moderate bitterness is enough to close things up at the end. Feels a bit like the fact that it handles its strength with some aplomb is the only justification for its strength. Pretty good though.
