Bottle. Black/ Roast, hints of smoke, licorice and cherry in the aroma and flavor. Malty sweet, beechwood/ Suboptimal balance, but quite tasty.

330ml bottle watching a French version of Lord of the Rings, from trade with Dunklermessias. Many thanks chap! Pours deep dark, large tan head. Smoky roast on the nose. Taste is grainy, with roasty, woody espresso tannin. Some underlying cherry sweetness does start to emerge alongside an ashy roasty woody finish. Fairly high carb that's a touch off-putting, could do with a little more cherry fruit, but generally it's ok.

Malzig würziger, leicht rauchig-süßer Antrunk. Deutlich steigend schokoladig, die Rauchigkeit bleibt mild aber konstant. Kirschen sind in den Zutaten vorhanden aber zu keinem Zeitpunkt auch nur zu erahnen. Wenig herb. 11/10/11/11/12/11

Nice stout. Lightly smoked, good mouthfeel. Something fruity, not necessarily cherry.
