Keg at 71. It pours opauqe jet black with a medium tan head. The aroma is chocolate gateaux, cacao, cookie dough, dark fruits, fruit cake, glacΓ© cherry, raisins and varnish. The taste is pretty dry, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, charred, burnt toast, fruit cake, boozy heat, peppery spice, earth, charcoal and burnt toast with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Body is a bit lighter than expected. Not bad, but lacks a bit of wow factor.
