[i] [b] Bottle courtesy of Craig cgarvieuk Cheers mate! [/i] [/b] Poured dark brown verging on black with a nice tan head. Aroma was a great rush of chocolate with some malt. Nice roasted malt taste quite understated, some dryness, but very moreish, chocolate was there along with some elements of coffee, I really liked this little beauty.
