Bottle. Black color with beige head. Aroma is ash, chocolate, roast, quite fresh. Taste is chocolate, orange peel, mineraly, but also with some vanilla and caramel wood. Velvety mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Decent!

330ml bottle. Pitch black pour, good deep brown head. Luscious aromatics encompassing good dark malt, roast, dried dark fruits. Lovely and smooth on the palate with good roast working alongside the plummy dark fruits, nice espresso hints working through with some gentle vanilla moments. Very good. My kind of RIS.
