500ml bottle at home bought at Beer Republic. No obvious BB date. almost black color, rather big coffee-colored head. smells earthy, grassy, licorice, light chocolate, bit soapy, some pines, rather lovely smell. full body, light carbonation, soft mouthfeel. tastes ash, bitter herbal, bit citric, bit old hoppy, dusty, some charcoal. finishes lightly bitter with notes of licorice, old hops and some charcoal. hmm, smell was quite nice, but taste has some problems, first, too light carbonation, which makes the beer unpleasant and boring to drink, then too much on the bitter charcoal / ashy side lacks some balance. Might be an issue with freshness, but since there is no BB date ... how should I know..

Bottle from Brewcraft at home on Election Day. Rich black pour with dense tan head. Aroma is good - light roasted coffee and sharp pine hops. Taste is sharp pine bitterness with burnt acerbity. Some spiciness and booziness. Lasting sharp bitterness. Really good.

500ml bottle. Pours pitch black with plenty of fluffy tan head. Aroma is spicy, coffee, it’s a black rye for sure. Flavour is coffee, spice, port, smoke, little pine. There’s not much hoppiness, but who cares when it tastes this good. Gorgeous, if not truly in style.
