Black pour, small off white head. Aroma is bitter cocoa powder and bitter chocolate malts. Lovely chocolate flavour and silky mouth feel. Solid carb, low bitterness, semi sweet, and lightly bitter cocoa powder, and cocoa nuts. Nice stuff.

Last one from their 4-pack Rebooted Vol.2. Pours a dark brown colour with a fizzy deep brown head that dissipates quickly leaving nothing but the brew. Chocolate notes in the nose with roasted malts and something quite different. Almost like soy sauce. This transfers a little to the taste, but not as much. More like roasted malts mostly with hints cocoa. Some decent hops in the finish. Flat-ish, not really appealing for the style.

This one poured a deep black colour with a big brown creamy head. Scents include smoke, cocoa, burnt malts and a little plastic. First swig was more carbonated than expected. Flavours of cocoa and toasted grain most prodominant. Finish is burnt with smoke and light hop lingering.
