Can sourced from Beerdome drunk at home - New brewery ✅ black pour with a nice beige head. Dark sweet and light roasted malty with lots of chocolate, caramel and toffee sweetness, cocoa nibs, brown sugar, medium plus body, toasted coconut and vanilla sweetness coalesce into the sweet chocolate malty lingering finish.
