Tap. Nearly black with tan head that settles to a fat coat. 3 Strong tropical fruit aroma with lychees, passionfruit, mango, some mandarin, chocolate brioche, some licorice - interesting but you wonder how harmonious it could be. Smooth, almost oily. The fruit is certainly there and fairly prominent, but it fits together well enough. Chocolate, bread crusts, only a hint of roasted malt really. But tied together by firmish bitterness that builds a bit at the end. Pretty good, but another one that could - for mine - be more stouty.
