Deep dark brown with an orange shine; huge, fluffy yellowish head. Dark malts, very perfumey, a bit of soy sauce - Japanese, I’d say - or... nut syrup? Taste is cigarette ash, bit of dry chocolate malts, underbrush flavours. It’s more complex than I can express, because very discreet. Ends sweet, and roasted. Medium to well-bodied. OK stout. Won’t deplace mountains, but deserves its place.
