4.0Bottle. Jet black, thin but sustained creamy beige head and low condition. Big sweet liquorice, coffee beans, roasted barley, fruity berries and a hint of woody spirit notes. Soft and sweet in the mouth with some peppery spiciness, a gentle roast coffee bitterness and some fruity liquorice notes.

Taste has some berriness in it, but balanced taste in its entirety, some bitterness but doesn't strike through much, citrusy hoppiness. Medium body, with dry roasted finish. Just a well made beer, and it even has a bit black IPA:ish feeling with the hoppiness.

4.0On Draught
Pours black with a nice head and good lacing on the glass.
The aroma is roasty & lightly sweet with a nice bit of licorice character and a mild leafy hoppiness. Some dark chocolate and very mild molasses character come through as it opens up.
The flavor is a great balance of roasty malt bitterness (almost burnt like character) and some sweeter chocolate, Cavendish, and licorice character. It's got a medium level of sweetness and a beautiful bitter backdrop. Balanced and very well constructed beer.
Fantastic stuff
3.6On tap at the source. Black with a thin tan cream subsiding. Scent is nearly scentless, light notes of dark fruit. Some coffee properties. Taste is quite dense and quite mild porter with resin and light on the coffee. This is an attempt to perfect a traditional beer style. Finish is a bit sticky. Some toffee and some unwanted sour back. Great.

3.7(bottle, 33cl) Black coloured hue with a firm and light-brown mid-sized foamy head.

Hoppy and roasty bitter flavour with a delicate sweetness, medium to full bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Earthy and mildly roasted malty taste with notes of chocolate, caramel, liquorice, as well as a good dash of sprucey, citric and spicy hops, lingering into the slightly leathery and tart finish. Well-done. 06.XI.17
