Bottle, shared by fonefan. A clear, copper-colored beer, brownish, with a small, off-white head. The aroma is quite burnt with a pleasant chocolate scent, some dried fruits and a pleasant hoppyness. It’s dry in the mouth, full-bodied and pleasantly carbonated. The flavor has a good blend of chocolate and roasted malt, and a fine bitterness towards the end. Some dried fruits and citrusy, fruity hops too. A really pleasant one, nicely layered up with the expected flavors and a good hop addition. I could easily down a few of these. 100814

Bottle, 5.0%. Quite roasted aroma, a little fruity. Clear dark brown colour. Small frothy tan head. The flavour is slightly sweet and mildly roasted. The aroma is sharper, but the flavour is round. Hard roasted malts, but a subtle amount.
