Bottle via the OGV. It pours jet black with a decent tan cap. The aroma is rich roasted malt, toasty, bitter - sweet, chocolate, coffee grounds, light ashy vibes and maltesers. The taste is initially dry and toasty, bitter - sweet character, rich roasted malt, coffee grounds, cocoa nibs, powdered chocolate, some umami, liquorice, peppery spice and woodsy character with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. All comes together rather well. Better body that I had expected. I imagine this would taste good on cask.

bottle at home... dark black.. mno head.. soft chocolate roast... thin mslts... dark roast.. liggt bitter chocolate... decent but over thin and little too fizzy
