Can at home, from HOTM online, 25/08/2026.
Extremely dark mahogany brown topped with a big old lasting beige head.
Nose is mellow roast, cocoa powder, charr, cola cubes, dusty hops.
Taste comprises charr, roasted bite, pine needle, bitter tropical fruit backnotes.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close spiked with earthy hop bitterness.
Decent enough CDA ... was hoping for a little more though.
