Taster showing pitch black with no head.

The nose shows intense notes of mocha, caramel, and light molasses.

The palate is moderately carbonated and light bodied with no alcohol burn. Moderately sweet with moderate flavors of caramel, molasses, and adzuki bean followed by a balanced espresso bitterness on the finish with notes of vanilla and more adzuki bean.

473ml can. Pours an opaque black with a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that laces. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, molasses, peat and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, licorice, dark chocolate, plum and coffee in a dry, mild bitter, warming booze finish. Full body with a sticky, creamy, oily texture and soft carbonation. Well balanced and delicious.
