Bottle thanks to Niall. It pours darkest brown with a small light tan head. The nose is bitter-sweet, roasty, salted caramel, liquorice, dark chocolate and toast. The taste is bitter, roasts, earth, coffee, mild acidity, dark chocolate, earth and charred wood with a dry finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Very smooth indeed, unlike Ben H... All in all a rather tasty beer.
