Cask pint at The Justice Mill, Aberdeen. It pours pretty much black with a thick, sturdy deep tan head. The aroma is deep dark roasted malt, slightly charred, plenty of dark chocolate, gateaux, umami and liquorice allsorts. The taste is firmly dry upfront, bitter - sweet character, dark roasted malt, charred, umami, plenty of liquorice, liquorice allsorts, treacle, dark chocolate, cacao nibs and a touch of charred oak. Medium body and rather well carbonated for cask. Rich, robust and flavourful. One of the best Spey Valley beers I've had some time. Moreish.
