Bottle from Crafty Pint. Appearance - olive black with a nice thin head. Nose - bitter burnt toast and liquorice. Taste - more burnt and liquorice notes. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and then it falls off a cliff. Overall - too much carbonation. But alright. A dry stout perhaps.
