330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aromas of black jacks, liquorice, molasses. Taste is almost meaty, beef stew, liquorice, tar, treacle, dark chocolate, leather. Rich body and mouthfeel. Tarry, long finish. Lots of dried fruit coming in at the end. Surprisingly good for the strength. Drinks like a 10%er. Grand.

Bottle . Appearance - opaque black with an attractive fawn head. Nose - black jack, liquorice, molasses, you get the idea. Taste - dark chocolate, then dried fruits, the next phase is savoury perhaps meat and leather. Then when you think it’s all over it finishes with a charcoal or tar note. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long balanced dry finish. Overall - complex and delicious. They’ve nailed it.
