33cl bottle shared by Alexcg - thanks a lot!. Pours black with a fair, beige head. Pleasant roasty aroma with hoppy notes; licorice, pine, citrus and dark chocolate. Moderate to medium sweet with fairly mild flavours and bitterness, but easy to enjoy and certainly drinkable.

24th November 2016
Grand tasting at Craft Islington with Hackobock. Thanks to Jacob. Light haze on this dark brown beer, tidy pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry. Smooth mild dark malts. Tangy dark fruits and a little dark chocolate. A touch of mellow hop spice reminds this is supposed to be a CDA. Tangy dry finish. Severely lacking in the hop department.
