Bottle from Kernel brewery webshoppe. It pours near black with handsome tan head. The aroma is freshly toasted bread, dark roasted malt, dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, pine forest, touch of mango, peach, sacher torte and chocolate bourbon biscuits. The taste is initially dry, bitter - sweet character but it is the bitterness that lingers, pleasing deep roasted malt, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, charred wood, light tannin, peppery spice, touch of tropical fruits, mango, peach, twist of citrus and pine dust with a drying, dark roasted finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Kernel showing as ever that they are the kings of Dry Stout (amongst other things). Interesting, robust and quaffable.
