65 cl bottle @ FF tasting. Brewed 01.03.2019. Rated on 13.03.2021. Aroma is nice with chocolate, oats and cocoa. Flavour has oats, salty licorice, some herbs and chocolate. Hoppy finish but we're not in BIPA level anyway. A bit salty but rather pleasant still. Rated on 2021-03-13.

Bomber from Tavour. First time trying this brewery. Normal looking pour for the style. Roasty, ashy aroma. Taste continues with the roast dominating, and some sweetness trickling in at the finish. Lingering bitterness and mildly dry.
