Pours big head. Smells of raisin and eastern spices, highly wine-like aroma. Lots of head. Taste: Outstandingly presence of coffee to begin with. chocolate in aboundance and a hint of vanilla. Which makes this perfect to accompany f.instance ice cream. The spicy features contributes to increased exitement and there is some bitterness to be detected also, far in the back. Unfortunately the beer was a bit too cold at the time of consumption, would’ve helped even more with lower temperature for the sweetness to be brought out.

Deep Deep yellow in color but not much mention-worthy smell. Much carbon dioxide content, which produces surprisingly little head, but bubbles inside beer and sticking to the glass, even after pouring. Aroma of citrus and green apples. As far as taste go, we find at first, lovely sweetness from the malts, very fruity and then, it all turns damn bitter. With such a bitter end, it is a great escalation to the “top” too. Really bitter ending!


Even though I’d caught a cold at the time of consumption, the fragrance clearly points in the direction of burbon. Nice dark colour and extreme in terms of carbonization, with good quality coffee immediately present. Hard-hitting tastewise, and medium/light bodied texture. There’s also a nice bitter hint there, providing a nice twist to this interesting and exiting experience.
The aroma on this one is pretty weak, and the liquid’s colour golden. Nor is there much carbonization in the beer, but still, a superb candysugar-like sweetness that lies like velvet around the gum. This taste is then dismissed and slowly taken over by an increasing presence of the chili, which subtly fades in & takes over… Lying there, deep underneath- like a fire burning out.
