Bottle bought at the brewery. Low key but still rich coffee and dark chocolate aroma. Dark and glossy, if thin looking. Beige head soon shrinks to a thin band. Light-medium bitter core, which then develops a spiced sourness. There's an underlying sweetness which results in a full blown caramel finish. Medium bodied. Creamy. Average carbonation. Dry astringent finish. I wonder if the Chestnut smooths out the coffee and berries, which along with the spice makes me think of chai. Lovely jubbly.
