330ml bottle. Jet black colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, slowly diminishing, minimally lacing, beige head. Roasty and chocolately, slightly spicy, dark malty and slightly caramel malty aroma, notes of dark caramel, dark chocolate, dry cocoa, some toffee, herbal-fruity hoppy overtones with a touch of juniper berry. Taste is sweet-ish, nutty and chocolately, slightly roasty and spicy, dark and caramel malty, notes of dark caramel, treacle, cocoa, some dark chocolate, milk chocolate, bitter, herbal-fruity hoppy counterpart with hints of juniper berry; lingering hoppy, spicy malty and minimally warming, alcoholic finish.
Slightly viscous, dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, medium, soft, mildly prickly carbonation.
Clean, focussed, not overly complex, relatively easy drinkable - pretty decent.
