On tap at the brewpub. It pours a creamy beige head of moderate size over a close to black body. Supreme lacing. The aroma is roasted, lightly burnt, with dark chocolate, coffee, oat biscuit and some sweet dark dried fruit. It's full bodied, smooth and with a little warmth, not too sweet, with a gentle bitterness. Roasted malts, dark dried fruit, some dark chocolate and coffee, and vague hints of soy sauce, beef stock and licorice. Perhaps a bit short finish, but sure a solid brew. 230218
