CBJ Bottleshare. Thanks to Wingman. Near opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light mouthfeel, but rich dark chocolate flavour. Slightly bitter and pippy raspberry, good intensity. Integrates well with the choc. Light semi dry finish. Drinks well.

Vintage unknown, but the bottle is at least a few years old. Pours a pitch black body and a dense brown head with pretty good retention. Aroma's: maple syrup from the bottle. From the glass: roasted malts, umami, booze, cocoa, wood. Retronasal it's sweetish, chocolate, bourbon, light wood. Flavour is quite sweet, maple, cocoa powder/milk chocolate. Medium bodied. Finishes with cocoa/chocolate and light roasty bitterness. Sweet but very nice.
