Bottle thanks to Daniel at GBBF 2016. It pours black with a thick light tan head. The aroma is soft, sweet, juicy, chocolate, fudge, burnt pine and rocky road. The taste is bitter, rich roasted malt, charred wood, ashy, burnt cocoa and grapefruit with a very dry, charred finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A touch harsh perhaps, but overall decent.
