Bottle split on the train to Windsor, thanks to the Wingmane, 17/11/15. Black with a decent tan covering. Nose is liquorice, charr, light roast, aniseed balls, spice, bitter hop, tropicana blanket. Taste comprises light soap, liquorice, dark malt, light spice, chocolate, charr. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with earthy bitterness. Decent enough CDA, doesn’t quite deliver on the ABV, a touch harsh and floral at times.

Bottle from POV shared with me Boi. Pours black with large tan head, had a little gush on opening. Faint hops on the aroma, tastes harsh with not much hops in the finish compared to weeder CDAs. It’s OK.
