Keg at Fierce Aberdeen. It pours darkest brown to black with a thick mocha head. The aroma is earthy, dark roasted malt, plenty of umami, liquorice, charred vibes, spent coffee grounds and cacao nibs. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, charred vibes, dark roasted malt, plenty of coffee character, umami, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, hint of acidity, hint of toasty pine and a nip of spice with a drying, dark roasted finish. Average body and soft carbonation. Way more dry & savoury than expected, which I kinda like. Decent.
