Bottle ordered from Vittles and Company, Hull. Aroma has rich dark chocolate alongside the promised coffee, and berries. Some roast and vanilla. Opaque cola brown. Thick foamy tan head. Medium bitter chocolate-coffee which quickly develops a sour berry streak. Underlying sweet molasses becomes prominent into the finish, as does do the malts. However that sour edged bitterness remains throughout. Medium-heavy bodied. Creamy and slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. Good stuff even if it's not one I'd want to Session being so rich.

2/11/2019. Bottle from Vittles & Company, Hull. Pours black with a foamy tan coloured head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malt, coffee and ash. Moderate sweetness, medium roasted bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Nice roasty finish but way too fizzy.
