Big thanks! 330 ml. Bottle split by two @ “HKHK” Tasting. Touch darker orange, few white bubbles. Nose is sweet smoked malt, Lapsang Souchong, bacon I suppose, pleasant sweeter smoked malt, nice. Too little carbonation which is a shame but who is pleasant, good classical DE profile with the right sweetness, sweet smoked Lapsang Souchong malt, bacon I suppose, malt, sugar, smoked wood,… Shame about the carbonation but quite a good mix of sweetness & smoked malts. Neat.

(On tap) Black with short-lived tan head. Subtle aroma of dark treacle. Medium body with gentle carbonation giving a smooth soft almost creamy mouthfeel. Sweat dark toffee flavours dominate with the some coffee bitter notes. Very pleasant.
