Bottle shared at chriso and Ruth's pre GBBF tasting 2016 - London. Cheers! Pours black-brown with a frothy, tan head. The nose has some good roast, milk chocolate, burnt earth. Moderately sweet flavour, with some smoked meat, cocoa, more scorched earth bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pretty sweet in the finish, with further rounded chocolate character, decent roast, background bittersweet coffee. Pretty nice.

Bottle from the Vineyard, Belfast. Appearance - jet black, tar like. Brown head. Nose - really dark chocolate, light smoke and coffee. Taste - tar, smoke and tonnes of chocolate to sweeten it up. The smoke returns on the finish. Palate - rich and viscous in body and texture. Dry but still rich finish. Overall - the sweetness of the dark chocolate, has engulfed the smoke and coffee and it works really well. Layers and layers of flavour.
