Tap. Black, a tan head fades to the rim fairly quickly. Boozy aroma with mocha, rumbling roast, caramel, vague fruit. Incredibly sweet with cherry or raspberry lollies, brown sugar, chocolate. Some bitterness and a little oak help a lot to balance things but it's still too sweet for me.

From a 375ml bottle on 10/10/2021. Pours super deep brown with pretty much no head. Has a cherry chocolate cake nose. Tastes like a cherry ripe soaked in rum. Don't get any coconut though. The mouthfeel is syrupy and the carbonation moderate. A really well made, nicely balanced big sipper, but not so good that I'd revisit at 30 bucks a bottle.
