Opaque black stout. Short lived chocolate head. Palate is a little soft and semi dry. Porter like sourness but no roasty malt. A little bit fruity with just a touch of chocolate.

Bottled (2008, 7.2%). Amber colour, mediumsized brown foamy head. Aroma is fruits, mild flowery notes and spices. Flavour is fruity, yeasty, and miloddly spicy. Pleasant stuff. Some mild nutty and roasty notes as well.
