Bottle @ ZZT X, small sample, thanks all for sharing! Dark color, short head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, licorice. Bit sweet, but mostly malty bitterness in taste. Good beer, but a bit one-dimensional on the roast and licorice.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Tom C’s place. Black with a pretty, big brown head. Nice aroma of roast, coffee and a bit of licorice. Bittersweet flavor, roast, with coffee, a bit of licorice and a burnt bitterish finish. Full-bodied. Very good.
