Bottle shared in London - picked up at the Lab. Bottle 21 of 40 (rare!). Pours black-brown with a small, foamy beige head. Rich and toothy stuff, some peat, iodine, leathery berries, tangy accents, ashy roast, bitter cocoa. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming finish, with further ashy roast, baking cocoa, old leather and dried berries, scorched earth, some pleasant peaty notes. Decent depth, if not entirely cohesive. Still, pretty good stuff on the whole.
