A German dark beer brewed after an old monk recipe. Bought from Jasons Market Place located in Raffles Shopping Center, S$7.25, 500ml bottle @ 3.9% ABV, I also got an anti-ageing beer from the same brewery, which I can’t wait to try.

Open this bottle after a heavy meal. Guess they are serious when they call this ‘black’ abbot, it’s opaquely black and impenetrable to light. Not much aroma on the nose though, just some brown sugary sweet scent. Milky sweet texture, medium-bodied with sweet dark coffee flavour. EXTREMELY sugary sweet, roasted malt with very light hops in the finish.

Well, can’t say I like this beer even after meal, pretty much due the fact that it’s overly sweeten (just see how many word of ’sweet’ I used here), try drinking a black coffee with 10 teaspoons of brown sugar, you will get what I mean. To be frank, I had to drink some lemonade (can’t find any apple cider) after that, you know the feeling of drank too much sugarcane juice?

I must admit that I do have a sweet tooth but this is still too much for me. Check the ingredients writen at the back of the bottle, they used “inverted sugar syrup” on top of the usual stuff, it’s sweetened purposely.

Strickly for aftermeal (and you can skip dessert) or you are not going to take any meal at all, but then even so the 500ml per bottle is still too much for me to finish.

By the way, this is the SWEETEST beer I ever tried so far.
