Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, cocoa, chocolate, dried fruit and dark fruits. The aroma did not really follow through to the taste and was a bit thin. Slightly dry bitter finish.

12/12/2021. Bottle sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours almost black with a small frothy beige head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, cocoa. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Moderate body, slightly watery, soft carbonation. Pretty good, but lacked some body.
