Bottle from Utobeer. A good looking BCA, black/dark brown with thick lasting beige head. Some coffee choc powder on aroma. Strength is well hidden. Some spice on aroma. Some dark fruits too. Pretty competent and very drinkable. Nice black cherry fnish with choc and a touch of spice and liquorice. Decent.
