Bottle as a gift, thanks mom! Aroma is tart dark fruits, soft roasted/chocolate malt, blackcurrant, notes of cognac barrel, light ash, hint of salty liquorice even. Dark berries with notes of chocolate. Flavour is tart and light sour with a little sweetness on the horizon. Interesting joining of dark fruits and dark malts, it works really well. Well-balanced too.

Bottle, 750 ml shared with Max, Miro B and Zec. Black with small beige head. Some chocolate, roastiness, barrel, dark fruit, vinous, medium sourness. Low carbonation. Medium bodied. Tad thin finish, but gets better as it warms up.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from Premier Hop. Pours deep brown with a frothy, beige head. Great beer, nice depth. Moderate sweetness, dark malts, tart lemon, cherry, mild cocoa, ashy roast, woody dryness, sturdy acidity. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Alright balance in the finish, more ashy roast, bitter cocoa accents, more tangy dried dark fruits, leather, earth. Solid.
