The colour is very dark wine red. The foam is beige, compact and firm.It dissolves slowly until it is three fingers thick.

The smell is sweet, burned with a generous body. There are notes of cocoa, coffee, dark bread and maybe some hazelnuts. I could also feel some aroma and bitter hops. Nice!

The carbonation is fine: Rich and soft at the same time.

The taste is sweet with an interesting touch of whiskey. The taste got a rich body including notes of coffee, milk chocolate and a fruity, gentle taste of aroma hops (typical for micros, I might say). The aftertaste is almost watery compared to the taste, but there are some sweet aroma hops, and a nice sour finish.

A fine beer, but I found it somewhat incoherent.

Serving type: bottle
