Bottle courtesy of SimonTomlinson via the RB EU 2019-3 trade. Pours very dark brown with a thin, creamy head. Aroma full of licorice and dark chocolate. Appealing and definitely the best part of the brew. Taste is modestly bittersweet with sweet licorice and ashy bitterness melding nicely. The promised “full body” is not reached and stays to the thin side of medium. Not bad though given the low ABV. Overall, nice.
