This one is a strange one. It pours a rich black with a golden beige head and packs a serious punch of 9.2% ABV. On pouring you get the faint smell of vanilla that reminds you opening a a tube of fresh vanilla. Upon the first taste the sweetness is a bit shocking and it really tastes like a spoonful of a regular brulee dessert. It is almost a bit off as a flavor when drinking a beer but it quickly develops into something special. This one would be a perfect beer to pair with a dessert course at a dinner, with chocolate or bread pudding.
