Bottle at Craft CG share thanks to Tipple. It pours jet black with a medium tan head. The aroma is soft, sweet, sugary, candied stuff, vinous, vanilla, rocky road, toffee, honey and butterscotch. The taste is tart, tangy, sugary, wood, plum skin, fortified wine, creaminess, prune, damson and a touch of sherbet. Medium - full body and prickly carbonation. Interesting stuff, but not sure that it comes together in a cohesive manner

Passable impy stout but low hanging fruit for said style.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Tipple. Pours black-brown with a foamy, mocha head. Burnt wood in the nose, a little funk, earth, leather. Light sweet flavour, some tangy leathery berries. Medium bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Finishes with more tangy berries, earth, cocoa. Not the best.
