Bottle shared in London - thanks to Mitchy. Pours black-brown with a frothy, beige head. The nose holds burnt wood, light ash, hints of cocoa, dried berries. Medium sweet flavour with notes of alcohol, dark fruits, berries, rich chocolate, earthy bitterness. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, with decent balance, vanilla, bittersweet chocolate, charred wood. Great stuff.

Tap. Pours clear black, medium tan creamy head, good lacing. Aroma is roasty and coconut. Doodle is as name implies, solid with medium sweetness and light bitterness. Fuck Trump.

Tap at Imazato. Dark orange, cloudy, with lace. Nose is grapefruit, biscuits, oranges. Not over the top with the fruit. Very biscuity flavor with a nice combination of fruit and citrus hops. Better than other grapefruit IPAs I have had in that this one only shows a little juice and doesn’t come off as an American radler.

Bottle @ MTG II tasting at Rich’s Welfare Pad. Pours very dark brown, tan head. Aroma is musty cocoa. Taste brings nice grainy cocoa alongside a good full-bodied imperial stout character, some liquorice. Tasty.
