◌ Aroma

Rich and complex on the nose, leading with roasted coffee grounds and dark chocolate undertones. Liqueur-like sweetness emerges with hints of plum and licorice, while subtle oak aging adds depth and sophistication. The alcohol presence is noticeable but well-integrated, warming rather than sharp.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied on entry with immediate roasted malt intensity and bitter coffee character. The mid-palate delivers dark fruit and chocolate complexity alongside creamy sweetness that balances the 60 IBUs of bitterness. The high alcohol (9.1%) is present but absorbed seamlessly into the malt structure, never aggressive.

Serve at 13–16°C

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Can be cellared 2–5 years. Develops dark fruit, leather and port-like complexity with age.
