Thanks Jonno. Aroma is oaky, bit of spice and smoke, black treacle. Taste is very good, soft, roast, mellow. Fruity. Treacle again. Great stuff.

500ml bottle. Pours dark with cream head. Oak, whiskey, raisins, vanilla, more oak, vinous towards the end, smoke, charcoal finish. Complex with a few layers, and oak in all of them. Definitely very well put together if not exactly my thing.

Taste comprises earthy fruit rinds, light wood must, spice, brown bread, biscuit crumble, grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok offering without providing any wow factor.

Grand tasting at Craft Islington with Hackobock. Clear deep amber beer, good pale tan head. Palate is airy and fairly dry, reasonable carbonation. Smooth malts, some light creamy sweetness. Touch of bitter toffee. Floral bitterness. Tangy fruits and a trace of dark chocolate. Fluffy dry bitter finish. Tasty - comes together well.

Bottle shared at the Hackobock tasting at Craft Islington. Thanks to Ken. It pours cloudy dark brown with a medium tan head. The aroma is toasted brown bread, wood, earth, leather and cocoa. The taste is toasty, wood, leather, bitter cocoa, liquorice, aniseed, umami, brown bread and toffee with a warming finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. Not overly drinkable. Fine enough.

Bottle shared at Au Revoir Tokyo. Thanks Jonno! Pours motor oil black with a small head that lingers. Charred wood, squid ink umami and roasted cacao nib on the nose. The palate is quite roasty but with a soft, rounded mouthfeel. Finish is nice and almost peaty. Would slay with a cigar! --- Beer merged from original tick of Grease Monkey @dylanadmin1 on 17 Oct 2016 at 15:54 - Score: 8
