Bottle from Hoptimism. Rich aroma of coffee, chcolate, burnt caramel and molasses, with added roast. Dark and glossy. Thick foamy light beige head. A pause before medium bitterness appears. This then drops off leaving a low key bitter/sweet finish. Medium bodied. Creamy. Lazy fizzy carbonation. Boozy finish. Sat under a blanket due to a cold and this is a welcome warning drink.
