Keg at IMBC. It pours oily black pour with a small tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, sweet, oily, sticky, massive chocolate sponge cake, chocolate sauce, creamy, tobacco and crunchie. The taste is slick, oily, chocolate, tobacco, dull smoke, rocky road, toothy, chocolate gateaux, powdered chocolate, light booze, wood and some warming alcohol. Full body, fine carbonation and chewy mouth feel. A bit sweet, perhaps but nice enough.
