Bottle from Vine and Grain. Appearance - very close to jet black and with an olive sheen. Beige fluffy head. Nose - roast, light tar and very gentle smoke. The liquorice is more like a Pontefract cake, that is sweeter and richer. Taste - tar, toffee and smoke and again generally on the sweeter side of liquorice. Palate - medium bodied. Roasty middle and finish. Overall - good.

Cask @Sam Beer (Rome). Ambrata, schiuma bianca media, non molto persistente. Al naso note di malto, biscotto, caramello, sentori erbacei e floreali. In bocca è bilanciata, attacco maltato con chiusura amara a bilanciare, abbastanza presente. Corpo leggero, carbonazione media. Ok.
