BBE 12/15 - Pours pitch black with a small brown head. Aroma of licorice, roasty malts, dark chocolate, cocoa, sweet berries and hops. Taste is smooth, roasty and heavy with dark chocolate notes, hints of berries, licorice and cocoa. Finish is smooth, roasty and complex with some notes of berries and dark chocolate. Quite nice and balanced.

33 cl bottle @ lusikka, no BBE info found.
Aroma is rather mellow with some cocoa and toffee typical to English ales. Flavour has toffee, licorice and some herbal tones - feels like a basic English stout. Nothing special here, I wonder why this is rated so high.
