Bottle from local Home Bargains store. Has a pleasing aroma of roast malts, milky coffee and a hint of liquorice. Pours pretty much jet black with a small beige head. In the mouth there is an initial sharpness, almost sour, that I can’t pin down. Once accustomed to this, the tongue can detect bitter coffee on a foundation of roast malts and chocolate. Finish is bitter and fruity. A bit strange, but pleasant enough.
