Keg at BD Dalston. It pours darkest brown to black with a small light tan head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, toasted coconut upfront, dark chocolate, bounty bar, oily, roasted malt and some dark fruits. The taste is dry, toasted malt, roasty, cacao, toasted coconut, toothy, earthy roast, coffee grounds, kick of alcohol and a bit of spice with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Drinks week. Good balance.

Keg at the Understudy, 17/05/19. Pitch black with a handsome tan covering that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is chocolate, rich roast, coconut shavings, toffee fudge. Taste comprises Bounty Bar, light black peppery spice, coconut, charr, mellow roast, dark chocolate, brown sugar melt. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced warming boost. Decent impy.

Dark brown pour and with some light brown foam. Toasted and a bit ashy roasted coconut in the nose. Some tartness there, ashy and roasty. Taste has chocolate, ashy character overwhelming everything a bit, bitter chocolate and cocoa and coconut of course. Good stuff, bit too ashy perhaps.

Sporo kokosa walczy w odczuciu ze spora palonoscia. W tle tych dwoch jakas kawa. Gorzka czekolada. Niezawiele ciala. Takie niepoukladane ale smaczne, fajnie gladkie, w sumie szybko zniknelo. 3.6?
