Bottle from Vine and Grain. Appearance - very close to jet black and with an olive sheen. Beige fluffy head. Nose - roast, light tar and very gentle smoke. The liquorice is more like a Pontefract cake, that is sweeter and richer. Taste - tar, toffee and smoke and again generally on the sweeter side of liquorice. Palate - medium bodied. Roasty middle and finish. Overall - good.
