500ml bottle. Pretty much black with a brown head that fades fairly quickly to a cm. Aroma of chocolate, hard roast, some signs of booze. Booming rich taste; sweet with alcohol, bitterness and some singed notes reining things in at the end. Still really swiggable, which is dangerous. Smooth but the lactose is not really obvious. It is well tasty but doesn't offer enough for 12% ABV.
