On tap at Mikkeller Brewpub London, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma brings out rich dark malts, burnt sugars, and a touch of liquorice. Flavour is very rich, with burnt dark sugars, deep roasted malt, and bitter dry cocoa powder. Lots of dark sugars, cocoa and a pronounced chalky bitterness on the finish. It's good but for the ABV, the depth / complexity isn't where I'd want it.

On tap at Brew Festival. A black one, with a minimal sized tan head. Quite neutral aroma with a light burnt touch, some dark dried fruits and roasted malts. It’s sweet and warming on the palate, soft and full-bodied, with a malt driven flavor. Roasted malts, burnt notes, raisin and fig, as well as a light touch of pine cones and green leaves. Medium length finish. A beer that feels disappointing at first, but turns out quite nice. And it hides the alcohol well. 220430
