Bottle thanks to Gibson. Pours a dark brown with thick beige head that lasts awhile leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is a fruity malt, oak and chocolate. Thick mouthfeel with a light smoke and oak with nice dark fruit. Very good.

Aroma has herbal tones, some salty licorice and cocoa-like sweetness. Flavour has salty licorice, sweet cocoa and some herbal tones. Too salty but not bad still.
