330ml bottle. Jet black colour with average to huge, frothy, diminishing, minimally lacing, dark brown head.

Taste is roasty, minimally ashy, slightly chocolately, dark malty, slightly caramel malty, hints of treacle; bitter hoppy counterpart. Slightly viscous texture, smooth and soft palate, medium to fine, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation. Not overly complex, nice ashy touch - so-so.
