Bottle. Very black with a tan head that never completely disappears and laces well. Fudgy aroma with roasted malt, mocha, some chicory, green plums, some other tropical? fruit I can’t pick at all. Very silky, carbonation is on the low side. Not that heavy for >9%. At first sweet and quite fruity (plums, sultanas and lychees) , the roasted flavours, hops and a touch of alcohol increasingly take over. Interesting and a bit weird.
