Bottle split at L6, picked up in Athens, 16/01/20. Dark mahogany brown with a decent beige cap that escapes edgeward. Nose is charr, roast malts, light coffee bean, hint of spice, dark fruit rinds. Taste comprises roasted bite, coffee, cacao nibs, ashen notes, dried fruits, charr. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light dryness in the close. Ok stout but lacking depth for the ABV allied to coffee/espresso profile … a little harsh in places.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Colin. Pours hazy brown with a creamy khaki head. So so, lots of toasted brown bread, earthy bitterness, toasted pine, cocoa. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with earthy hops, toasted pine. Not bad.
