Bottle shared at chriso’s May 2014 tasting - London. Pours clearish dark brown with a frothy tan head. The nose holds burnt wood, dry chocolate and tangy dark fruits. Medium sweet flavor with some soil, dark wood, bittersweet chocolate. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Tannic on the finish with scorched earth, wood, more baking cocoa. Slightly buggy. Pretty nice.

Tasting at the ever gracious ChrisO’s. Almost opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Palate is light and dry and a little crisp. Dark malts are mild and dry. Light touches of roast and dry coffee. Whisper of dark chocolate. Subtle dark fruits. Finishes dry with a mild dark malt bitter linger. Not bad, good one to share though.

The taste is roasted malt, varnish, alcohol, toasty, earth, ash,dark chocolate, acrid bitterness and liquorice with a dry finish. Medium-body, soft carbonation and sticky mouth-feel.
