Draught. Black colour with a mediumsized brown foamy head. Aroma is quiite zesty with some tropical fruits, chocolate and mild alcohol. Flavour is fruity, some nectary, chocolaty, toasted and mild alcohol and liquorice tones to it. Surprisignly good, even though a bit on the boozy side.

330ml bottle. Poured a clear dark brown, almost black colour with a mostly lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is big roasty malt, caramel, floral hops and alcohol. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter, with a smooth, rich, slightly oily, liqourice, resin, floral dry hop bitter palate. Medium to full bodied with average to soft carbonation. 3.5 years past the best before date but still 330ml of pure awesomeness!

Chocolately dark malty and resinous hoppy aroma, Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately dark malty and resinous hoppy, some caramel; lingering bitter hoppy finish. Full body, oily texture, creamy palate.

Bottle @ home. Opaque black color, medium to full sized quite creamy beige head that lasts for quite a long time and leaves good lacing. Aroma is malts, dark malts, some dark overripe fruits, a touch of some kind of herb or spice, maybe cardamom, somewhat liquorice-ish. Doesn't appear to be a mix between an IRS and an IIPA imo. In any case it's weird, there's dark malts and there's hops, but it's weird. Gets better after a while though. Didn't like it in the beginning but it definitely got better after a while. Basically up from around 3.2 to 3.8. Not bad.
