Black as the night and super smooth. Chocolate, roasted coffee and berry fruits embrace your taste buds with a sweet vanilla finish. Full-bodied, rich and decadent to the core.

Half-pint, draught at Off The Square. Shared with Frau Eva. Coal black body, stable beige head, hanging lace. Inviting on the nose with smoothly roasted malts, mid-sweet. Dark malt-forward flavours added by hints of dried fruits. Roasted ending notes, rather sweet. Medium bodied. Nice. (Stow-on-Wold, Cotswold 26.04.2025).
