More Ouroboros than Infinite, innit. The Russian from Stubborn has been memory-holed too. Can. Black with a tan head that doesn't last all that long. Aroma of heavy roast, singed and less brown caramel, surprisingly bright floral notes, oaky whisky. Full bodied but short of syrupy, low carbonation. Layers of roast and charred oak, caramel. Sweetish with some spicy, zingy and even faintly sour notes behind. Only hints of chocolate. Intense but it mostly gets lifted away by a little ending bitterness and the fact that it's not that sweet. Memorably good.
