50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with an off-white head. Mild citrusy hoppy aroma. Flavour is mild sweet citrus fruity. Very delicate hops flavour with a vague maltbase (obviously) but it seems in balance somehow. Mild sweet finish with a growing dry- and bitterness.

[500ml bottle - gift from Mum] Shared with Jim. Tastes strongly of black coffee, also a lot of plain chocolate and some tar. Bit of sharp fruit - maybe damsons? Heady - you really get the high alcohol content coming through. Far, far too bitter though, to the point of unpleasantness in the aftertaste. More sweetness would bring the flavours out better. Disappointing after a promising start.

0.5L bottle pours deep deep amber with infra red edges and tan head. The aroma is a bit different than I was expecting but very inviting with roasted to burnt malts, rich sweet toffee, earthiness, molasses and some cigar ash. Nice mix of notes. The taste enters with medium body and distinct creaminess. The taste starts roasty and quickly turns sweet with toffee, molasses and vanilla. By midway rich fresh roasty malts take over along with burnt to ashy malts and some earthiness under foot. I love the way all the notes come together here. YUM.

Bottle at Winking Lizard. This beer pours a mostly clear dark brown color with a thin dark tan head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing. The aroma has a slightly smoked character, with roasted malt, coffee and chocolate behind it. Medium-bodied with flavors of malt, coffee and bittersweet chocolate, with smoke in the background all the while. The finish consists of coffee and hops with a lingering bitterness. Above average overall.
