Clear dark ruby brown, almost black. Tanned lacing foam. OK it has whiskey tones in aroma and taste, but not too outspoken. A smooth well balanced beer. (Velp 201703)

Pours opaque sable with a thick and rather persistent tan head. Aroma tempts with strong roast malt, molasses, chocolate, smoky, whisky-soaked wood, and earthy tones. Flavor delivers not quite as much as the aroma, but still pleases - and now the vanilla snippet finally comes forth. Mouthfeel presents firm, viscous body and strong fizz. Worth seeking.

Bottle no. 07753, on APRIL 2014 with a best before date MAY 2017. Pours a real dark black-brown colour with deep ruby highlights. The head is a decent size, mocha-coloured with some good retention and lacing. Sweet aromas of caramel, butterscotch. All of this over the roasted malts, mild hops, smoked wood and dark fruits. The taste is not as sweet showing more the roasted malts. The hops are a little more present adding some bitterness. Light wood and peatiness lingers. Another good one.
