(Can) Great looking beer - pours completely black with good golden brown head. Pleasant, rather subtle aroma that is hard to place. There’s some herbal notes, some wood, some dark caramel hints. Great mouthfeel - full bodied with nice bright carbonation. Reasonable taste - there’s a several bitter flavours working together - dark toffee, burnt sugar, coffee, with barest hints of sweetness. There are some unusual sour notes too. Alcohol not obvious. The burnt bitter notes continue into a long finish. It’s good, but did not quite live up to expectations of this brewery and compared to the Descent 20.
