Bottleshare at CBJ, thanks to Cloin. Near opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Smooth and semi dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Boxy sweet chocolate malts. A little ripe fruits. A bit candy sweet overall.

Bottled 375ml (DBH)
Opaque colour, not much head. Burned bready roasted aroma. Medium-bodied. Smooth with rhum sweetness, licorice, toasted malts, vanilla. Sweet but not cloying sweet like the cocoa version. Ok.
