Bottle at home. Almost black with small light brown head that disappeared quickly and left an oily film. Black berries, some sweet chocolate, blueberries, tart red fruits, wood, English hops, licorice, slight earthy, chalk. Under medium sweet and sour. Over medium bodied with oily feel and low carbonation. Messy and probably something went a bit wrong here, but actually it’s drinkable.
