Pours a murky (I think) black colour and a firm light brown head with good retention. Aroma's of firmly roasted malts, coffee grind, just a hint of peanut from the glass. Retronasal there is coffee grind and a bit of peanuts, which is kind of a weird combination. Flavour is (above) moderate sweet, dark chocolate, some roasty bitterness and a hint of sour (either from the alcohol or carbanation. Full bodied. Creamy mouthfeel, prickly carbonation. Long finish with lots of roast, fairly bitter. A bit messy, but luckily it's not sickly sweet.
