27/11/2021. Can from SHIG, cheers. Fife rating #10. Shared with ITFCfan/Dan. Pours black with a small frothy beige head. Aroma of ash, dark berry fruits, chocolate, blackcurrant, roasted malt, raisin. Moderate sweetness, light roasted bitterness. Moderate body, oily watery texture, average carbonation. Looked good but wasn't too keen on this.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Pours inky black with some beige bubbles on top, and aroma of dark malts, smokey, blackcurrants hints. Taste is sourish, malty, fruity, blackcurrant note, ashy, roasty, cocoa, some tartness and light bitterness. Slick mouthfeel, medium to full bodied, soft carbonation, drying roasty malty finish. Quite OK

Crowler from BD Inverurie. It pours darkest ruby brown, near black with a decent khaki head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, earthy, ashy, char, coffee grounds, cacao, tangy blackcurrant and savoury vibes. The taste is dry, roasted malt, toasty, tangy blackcurrant is upfront then disappears, bramble also, cacao, umami, liquorice, earth and char with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent enough.
