Collaboration with La Pirata (Catalonia) Aran from La Pirata and Menno had a closed meeting in the secret treasure cave to agree on a recipe. That didn’t take too long. Roasted sesame seeds caused the subtitle ‘Open sesame!’. Combined with the presence of our pirate friend from Súria, Catalonia: here it is Ali & Baba! You can decide yourself who’s Ali and who’s Baba ;)

Bottled 01-06-17. Pitch black, little bit of light brown foam. Smells alcoholic, roasty. Taste is bittersweet, biscuits and especially sesame come through a lot. Very smooth mouthfeel, good thickness, alcoholic. Quite strong, a bit too intense for me.

Taste: lots of alcohol, bit sourish, fruity, bit over the top. Aftertaste: bitter touch, fruity, dry, some tannins, quite some alcohol. Don't like this one very much...
