Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Black-brown colour, beige foam head and aroma of powdered chocolate, cocoa, hazelnut, roasted malt. Taste is sweetish, dark chocolate, malty, roasty, with a fruity orange toffee hint, and earthy nutty bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, full to medium bodied, soft carbonation, roast bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.
