Bottle shared in Hazlemere - cheers to SHIG. Pours black-brown with a small, creamy tan head. Big sweet flavour, some espresso, ice cream, cocoa, ash, toffee. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet, warming, sticky finish, bitter dark chocolate, ashy roast, milky coffee. Good one.

Dunno if there's different bottle pours being reported but I got mad chunks and mad coffee in here. Bottle got stuck pouring and everything. Straight coffee grains.

Waxed 375 from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a low bubbly dark rusty/tan head. Aroma of chocolate, chilies and coconut. Full bodied. Flavor is chilies, vanilla, chocolate, non-musty wood, coffee, and lactose. Not to forget really burnt malt. Far from dry, but the malt and chilies balance that. Complex, but parsible. In the end it seems earthy dry. Heat is hard to pin down. Good flavor.
