Black, thin head, chocolate, toffee, nice burnt sugars here, bitter chocolate, lots of hop, burnt malts, char, but never ashy. Just a nice amount of sweetness.

On tap at Optimism, pours a jet black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out dry roasted malt, a little espresso and dry cocoa. Flavour is rich and bold, with lots of roasted malt, some powdered dry cocoa and a hint of espresso. Dry, but not too much, and a little astringency. Robust and well-constructed. Excellent.
