UPDATED: SEP 1, 2021 This is the vintage version from 2020. Pours dark, almost black with some reddish tones. First thing that hits when putting nose close is tones of burnt sugar, with a touch of anis, dried fruits, toffee. Mouth is splendidly smooth, well balanced, complex. Turns to the sweeter side, lots of dried fruit, a touch of roastiness in the finish, some liquorice hidden that sneaks towards the end, some chocolate. Very nice beer.
