Tap at Cap Hop. Pours really dark brown, but there’s some coppery/garnet at the edges. Beige? head. Aroma of very dark treacle and chocolate. Yet somehow it’s bringing beef tamale to mind. ?? Full bodied for sure. Heat in the nose, but not much in the mouth. Flavor is very dark treacle, chocolate and maybe some vanilla and coffee. A hit at the beginning of each mouthful that’s fantastic. And maybe a little heat follows. It’s great stuff. Doesn’t seem at all tarted up. Except for 14.2%!!!!!
