0.33 l can from 'Mr. Hop', canned in November 2024. Black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, light brown head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty, fairly smoky aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, ash and smoked ham. Fairly sweet, malty, very roasty, fairly smoky, minimally fruity taste of dark chocolate, licorice, ash, hard roasted coffee, some smoked ham and hints of dark fruits, followed by a long, fairly roasty-bitter, ashy finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Intense and saturating beer, quite demanding, really good but not for the faint-hearted.
