Bottle. A club beer but available in shops. Ebony with a light tan head that gradually fades to a fat coat. 3+ Aroma of roast, licorice, some chocolate, hints of banana, smoke, brioche. Smooth texture, medium bodied, lowish carbonation. Lots of licorice at first but roast and mocha join and there's some smoke and a nip of bitterness at the end that really creeps up after a while. I think it's that along with the yeast element that made this work so well - there's quite a lot going on but the finish lightens things and makes it fun to drink in much the same way as (say) a St Bernardus beer. Methodically adventurous.
