Not the L6 bottleshare. Thanks to the team, group purchase from Craft Beer Junction. Opaque black brown beer, small tan head. Smooth and slightly viscous palate, good fine carbonation. Incredibly rich dark chocolate malts. Spicy boozy mid. The mint is obvious on the back end and integrates well. Not quite the stellar base beer but delivers its own pleasures.

Bottle split at the last minute CBJ Tasting (big thanks Marcin for hosting), team effort for this one, 13/07/23. Pitch black with a khaki head that thins to the edge. Nose is chocolate, roast malts, bourbon drizzle, spice, hint of After Eight mints. Taste comprises chocolate cookies, bourbon bite, mellow roast, well balanced mint angle, cookie dough, hint of vanilla cream. Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. Another solid BA impy from HS ... bang on the money with the mint on this one, probably the best I've had with said ingredient.

Bottle shared at Craft Beer Junction. Cheers team. Pours back-brown with a small, foamy tan head. Medium sweet flavour with lovely mint chocolate ice cream character, some booze, roast, cocoa. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, more cocoa and cool mint. Very nice beer.

Bottle shared at craft beer junction bermondsey. Thanks. An oily dark black brown coloured pour with a whispy dark tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate, roast, alcohol, light peppermint, after eight. Flavour is composed of semi sweet z oily, dark chocolate mellow mint, mellow barrel, bourbon,. Lingering dark chocolate. Intense. Really well done.
