Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers. Aroma of perfume, chocolate, coffee, liquorice and fudge. Ashy flavour creates a dry finish. Smooth.

Thin off white head soon disappeared leaving a jet black thin looking body. Pine, malt & dark chocolate aroma. Medium body, thinning to the back with a watery feel as it fades away. Spicy tastes of malt, pine, bitter pithy citrus, roast & coffee.

Bottleshare at Chez Smith. Opaque black - brown beer, good tan head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent carbonation. Mild roast in the dark malts, some cream too. Mild piney hop and a little hop spice. Fairly dry finish. Spicy roasty linger. A bit dry but decent.
