Bottle from Great Grog. Black body with a ton of flecks beneath a non-existent head. No visible carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of rose and lemon. Flavour of espresso, bitter lemon and rose. Thin body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. It looks truly terrible and doesn’t taste much better - the overall impression is astringent.

Cask at the Pot Still. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aromas of liquorice, chocolate and light rose. Taste is more of the same. Nicely judged. Enjoyed it.
