330ml bottle [at 7.0% abv, courtesy of Grumbo - thanks a lot!]. Quasi black colour with rudimentary ruby shimmer and small to average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, off-white to beige head. Mildly roasty and smoky, minimally spicy and chocolately, dark malty aroma, hints of smoked eel, dark caramel, barbeque sauce, whiffs of peat and leather. Taste is sweet-ish, mildly roasty and smoky, dark malty, slightly caramel malty, notes of dark caramel, some smoked eel, smoked wood, a touch of malt lozenge, barbecue sauce, peaty and leathery overtones, mildly bitter, hoppy counterpart. Oily-watery texture, smooth, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation. Rich and manifold but still mild, somehow more condensed than intense - pretty decent.

330ml bottle shared with Finn at Cellar Door Real Cider & Ale House. Coal black in the glass, fawn-coloured head leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Dark malty aromas, slightly smoked. Rich malt-driven taste of dark chocolate, dark bread, and liquorice, mildly smoked. Rounded mid-sweet malty ending. Good depth. Good drinking (Newport 03.10.2018).
