22/3/2020. Can from Beer52. Better than average beer that I've had from them. Very nice looking pour - black with a good sized beige to tan coloured head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, light toffee, hops and pine with a touch of liquorice and citrus. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness with a tart edge. Body seemed fuller to start. Bit oily. Nicely done.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A glossy opaque black pour with a tight chocolate coloured head; some cocoa and wood smoke aromas; rich, smooth and fruity in the mouth with a milk chocolate body and a nicely balanced bitterness from the spruce; the finish is creamy with lasting bitterness, sour fruit, and an earthy base. Excellent.

330ml can from Beer 52; BBE Mar 2020. Drank at home on 7th April 2019. One of the darkest, black beers I have ever seen, brown/tanned foaming blanket on top. Viscous, oily pour. Malty aroma and taste with coffee and chocolate esters and flavours, some liquorice notes in there too. Nice.

Opaque beer, big thick head. Light, malty, almost spiced aroma. Flavour is a really interesting mix with the smokey, earthy malt being balanced by the fresh, cooling spruce flavour along with some coffee and dark chocolate. Rich and smooth, this is about as tasty as you can ask a beer at this strength to be.
