Keg at the brewery. Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Palate is smooth and airy, strong fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, some earthy coffee and liquorice. Slightly bitter fruits underneath. Light dry finish leaves a liquorice linger. Tasty and on keg, very well carbonated.

Keg at Affinity. It pours jet black with a decent beige head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, intense, umami, liquorice, cocoa, oily, dark fruits, earth and dark chocolate. The taste is bitter - sweet, chewy, salted caramel, cocoa, umami, peppery spice, rocky road, charred wood, liquorice and a touch of alcohol with a drying, toasty finish. Medium - full body and fine, foamy carbonation. Pretty flavoursome and drinkable. Nice chuggable double stout.
