bottle at home... August 2020... deep red brown... thin tan lacing... soft sweet caramel licorice.. burnt chocolate roast malts nose... soft sweet caramel licorice mslts

Bottle picked up at the brewery. It pours darkest brown to black with a decent light tan head. The aroma is malt - driven, sweet malt loaf character, toasty grain, mighty malt, dark fruits and a touch of treacle. The taste is smooth, roasty malts, toasty, bit of liquorice, treacle, dark fruits, plum, prune, damson and a touch if spice with a drying and toasty finish. Light to medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Quite moreish actually. Grew on me.
