Bottle. Black with a disappearing tan head. 8C. 4C is the recommended temperature, which as an omen is between an eagle and a vulture carrying puppy entrails. Aroma of mocha - mainly dark chocolate - roasty, earthy, some licorice. Some berries. Reminds me of Sinha stout a bit. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Silky. Not all that sweet with bread, mocha, vanilla, licorice. Finish is fairly dry and is both bitter and roasty. Good, maybe lacks a rumbling bottom end for something that’s 10%.

From bottle (McCoppins Fitzroy). Boozy nose with caramel. Ink black on pour. Almost sticky mouthfeel (befitting the style). Relatively restrained for its abv. Hints of licorice and raisins. Will cellar a couple to see how it develops.
