Tank at HH. It pours opaque jet black with thick tan head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, coffee grounds, liquorice, cocoa, plum, jam and gateaux. The taste is rich roasted malt, charred wood, dark chocolate, espresso, mild alcohol boost, spicy, pepper, quite savoury, blackcurrant jam, with a smooth finish. Full body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Pretty rich, yet rather quaffable.
