Gnarly good still, I imagine it's fallen off a bit, and hints of oxidation but otherwise sweet finished cinnamon hinted stout with a mellow spice on the finish that builds up. So nice.

Keg at Mikkeller Bar - London. Pours oily black with a bubbly tan head. Nice depth, lots of rich and gooey chocolate, some rocky road, baking cocoa, raisins, then a strong chilli pepper hit that cuts through it all and really cleans up. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Finishes with a little alcohol boost but a lot of pepper heat, also gooey chocolate, coconut, soft roast. The chilli could be dialled back a touch but overall it's great stuff.
