Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a nice large dark brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with some chocolate notes with light dry raisins notes also perceptible. Taste is also a mix of roasted malt with some dry raisins notes and some chocolate malt notes are also perceptible. Finish is on the dry side of things. Body is pretty full for style with good carbonation and no real alcohol notes are apparent. Super enjoyable IS and always nice to be able to try historical rendition of recipes.
