Flaske (thanks, Cimbasso!), hjemme: brunsvart med rubinrødt skjær og flott beige skum som varer. Deilig aroma med røstet malt, kaffe, mørk karamell og noe bæraktig. Lekker og ganske slank smak, hvor jeg finner sviskeplommer og mørk sjokolade i tillegg. Elegant bitterhet i avslutningen, som er ganske tørr tross sødme-elementene i smaken.

From the handpump at the Grape and Grain Spring Beer Festival 2012, Crystal Palace. Black pour with a tan head. Coffee, chocolate and vanilla nose. Smoky-roast flavours of chocolate and coffee with the latter dominating. A bit of chocolate ice cream in there too. Malty, dry roast finish. Quite tasty.
