Refrigerated 75 cl lilac waxed bottle from shrubber85. Black with medium beige head. Aroma is spiced chocolate, thick body, medium carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is Concord grape jelly, chocolate, some bourbon and some smoke. I waited to long on this one, so I would really like to try fresh, but still good.

Backlog May 2017. Clear, dark brown, almost black body under a fine, dense, beige head. Aroma has dark malt and a mild touch of chocolate. Taste is a bit dry, with dark malt, acidic coffee, milk chocolate and balanced bitterness. Fine body and nice coffee flavor in aftertaste.
