Nose

The initial aroma is lightly smoky, plummy, and reminiscent of port. The scent is unusually fruity for a dark beer—dominated by plum, with hints of raisins and vanilla notes from oak barrels. Upon further exploration, you can detect various spices and dried fruits.

Taste

The flavor is very rich and intense. The lush taste blends chocolate and plums with vanilla-like spiciness. While the beginning is more fruity and juicy, the aftertaste becomes more liqueur-like, with hints of nuts, raisins, and a light roastiness. The finish leaves a pleasant warmth of alcohol.
