Bottle split at Bodney Mansions, thanks to LKS, 18/01/18. Light black with a well presented beige head. Nose is cocoa powder, charr, spice, toffee, light pine, earthy hop. Taste comprises brown bread, toffee, light black peppery spice, charr, cocoa rub, dried red berries. Medium bodied, spritzy/prickly carbonation, drying close. Ok CDA but overcarbed which lets this one down for me.

Sweaty, resinous and tropical fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of mango, durian, some orange.
