"A bottle that is out of the ordinary, you have to like the power and the empyreumatic esters (Tar / Oil / Smoke) with a dose of greed (Pastry) and freshness (Vegetable / Fruits / Citrus).personally I love it, a killer!"

The empty glass has some light chocolate, cherry and sugarcane notes. Price to quality is pretty good in my mind."

Top review from mto75:

"Erster Eindruck an der Nase: echt brachial! Vergorene Früchte wie bei HD, dazu chemische Noten, Vanille, Gewürznelken und der Apfelessig, den ich schon bei anderen MHOBAs ausgemacht habe. Der ABV ist präsent aber nicht stechend! Am Gaumen brennt es dafür dann schon ordentlich. Mit einem Tropfen Wasser wird es deutlich angenehmer, es kommt dann sowohl an der Nase als auch am Gaumen noch eine angenehme Karamellbonbon -Note hinzu."
