Bottle at Brewdog Edinburgh shared with BenH, James Tulloch and allmyvinyl. Appearance - oily and gloopy and opaque black with very little head. Nose - rubber and liquorice. Then raisins and plums in booze. Taste - rubber again going into charcoal and eventually liquorice. Then prunes in armagnac. Then dry and charcoal again. Palate - tangy and mouthcoating yet dry. Sweet in texture yet eventually balanced. Strange but enticing. Overall - complex and challenging. Is this really mead?

Bottle at BrewDog, Edinburgh. Black body with no head. Aroma of vanilla, soy sauce, honey, Marmite and sweet tobacco. Flavour of burnt brown sugar, roasted malts and honey. Full body with a sticky, almost gloopy texture. Light carbonation. A rich beer, but I found it to be too boozy and sweet to be enjoyable

Bottle at Brewdog. Pours jet black, engine oil gloop, thin tan head. Aromas of coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla, honey, charcoal. Taste is rich, sweet, warming, more coffee and bourbon notes. Light booziness but surprisingly light for the strength. Lots going on. Fruity notes come through at the end. Long finish into the night. Not sure it was worth the price tag, but good.

Bottle @ Post EBBC14 tasting at Norseman [290614] Big thanks to BeersIveKnown for sharing the beers!
Pitch black, engine oil, thin tan head
Aroma of dirty meaty malts, big savoury malts, stinky blue cheese
Taste - Thick honey loaded with tons of burnt wood, cigarette ash, burnt coal, absolutely disgusting and undrinkable
Palate - No carb, full body, massive sweet, very burnt, acrid. Finish was extremely dry and massively astringent
Overall - A few drops of this vile muck on my tongue - no way I’d drink this shit. F*king horrendous. Best to just look at it and smell it. One of the worst liquids to ever pass my lips. YYYEEEEEUUUUCCCCCCHHHHH!
