Gravicask, 1/3 pint, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Coal black body, a bubbly ring to the rim of the surface, low beige head. Roasted aromas of cocoa and chocolate. Similar taste profile of chocolate and cocoa, added by a backdrop of dark fruits. Ends moderately roasted, dark malts and prunes. Medium bodied. Decent. (Burton upon Trent, 17.02.2023).
