330ml bottle. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, small, creamy, fading, minimally lacing, beige head.

Taste is slightly bitter, roasty, minimally ashy, slightly chocolately, dark malty, minimally woody and alcoholic, notes of dark chocolate, some cocoa, hints of cognac, a touch of oak.
Creamy texture, smooth, soft and silky, minimally cloying palate, fine, dense, soft, creamy carbonation.
Homogeneous, round, soft, a tad simple and monotonous - decent.

2/7/2022. Bottle shared at fonefan tasting. Pours very dark mahogany brown with a small tan coloured head. Aroma gives a good dose of cognac, light roasted malt, wood, cooking chocolate, toffee and hint of liquorice. Quite sweet, with light bitterness and a slight tart edge. Lacks body for its abv, otherwise quite enjoyable.
