5/7/2023. Can shared by ITFCDan, from Hopsters Ipswich. Pours black with a small tan coloured head. Aroma of dark chocolate, wood, vanilla, molasses, black treacle, meaty edge. Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness. Full bodied, very smooth, soft carbonation. Very nice.

Can split at L6, thanks to Danny, 24/11/22. Black with a tan cap that escapes edgewards. Nose is dark malts, charr, spice, cocoa powder, earthy dark fruit rinds. Taste comprises dark malts, mellow roast, spice, umami, tangy dark fruits, light smoke, lactic tinge. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced boost and kiss of rum. Okay BA affair ... a little overly tangy for my liking though.

De aspecto totalmente negro al verterla en el vaso da la sensación de ser pastosa, densa. La cosa promete. Mínima y efímera espuma de color tostado. En nariz se notan rápidamente las maltas torrefactas, algo de coco, melaza, regaliz y madera. En boca resulta impresionante. Abundan las notas a ciruelas pasas, café expresso, ligeramente dulce al principio gracias a sutiles matices provenientes de su paso por barrica de ron. Finalmente torma a las notas amargas, con matices a chocolate negro y en el que su alta graduación está muy bien integrada, sin notarse ni sobre saturar en ningún momento.

Can. Thanks to Dan the man. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry, good fine carbonation. Thinnish dark malts, decent dark chocolate, trace of coffee. The Rum barrel sings nicely, fruity rum, very mild estery rum, a nice touch of booze and alcohol spice on the finish but it belongs here. Trace of oak vanilla. Light finish. Very nicely done.
