Bottle from a trade. Many thanks! Pitch black colour, creamy brown foam. Lots of roasted malts, coffee, ashy notes. Very bitter hoppy finish (citrussy hops, pine). More like a very roasted imperial black IPA than a stout.

Thick, black and oily with a solid thick head. Aroma is a little boozy and also has some coffee and dark chocolate. The background hop bitterness is a great foundation for the roasted malts and cocoa sweetness. The alcohol level helps towards a correct balance of flavour.
