Keg at Craft Brighton. It pours darkest brown with a decent bubbly beige head. The nose is chocolate, peppermint, After Eights, liquorice, umami, dentists mouthwash and light coffee. The taste is bitter-sweet, earthy, hard roast, menthol, burnt earth, charred, wood, light alcohol and tar with a dry, burnt roasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice aroma, but the burnt notes on the taste are a bit too dominant. Interesting...
