Ludicrous "Craft" bottle thanks to Colin. Slow gush.... It pours hazy deep red-brown with a massive beige head. The nose is rather sweet...cola, caramel, cherry cola, raisin, candy, light piney varnish and liquorice. The taste is bitter, earthy, cherry cola, caramel, earthy roast, pepper, piney varnish, rather dry, ashy and some alcohol boost with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body and big foamy carbonation. Think I preferred the older vintage of this. STill not bad.

Bottle shared at craft beer co clerko. Thanks to Colin for this one. Aging a black IPA? Mahogany brown coloured pour with a big creamy, frothy head. Aroma is sharp citrus hop, little soap, faint toast. Flavour is tart roasted grains, little treacle, signs of oxidisation, pine needle, sharp citrus. Palate is medium full and sticky, little resin, highish carbonation. Lingering bitter roast and citrus.

Bottle split at CBC Clerko Tasting, from the brewery #60/200, 03/06/15. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a decent tan covering. Nose is light smoke, pine, earthy hops, bitter dark fruit, charr, light grapefruit. Taste comprises bitter hops, light smoke, pinch of spice, light pine, toffee, liqourice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semim drying close. Ok CDA, hops seem to have faded a little more than the 2012 vintage!

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Colin. Pours deep brown with a thick, creamy tan head. The nose has some roast, smoke, citrus rind. Medium sweet flavor with burnt bread, earthy hops, strong roast, smoke, baking cocoa. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Nicely balanced finish with tasty, rich cocoa, some dark fruits. Very nice.
