This is a pitch black beer that is as dangerous as its 6.66 alcohol. A thick, syrupy beer that is not too cloying. Roast malts are well balanced with sweetened black coffee. More like an imperial stout - this is powerful stuff/

May 4, 2008 Cask at Glenrothes BF 08. Black to brown with a thin bubbly beige head. Nose is lively malty, sweet warming and some syrupy. Initial taste is baby powder, chalky, malt, some attacking bitterness. Espresso strength and more chalkiness in the palate. Little bit offensive, but on the whole, good.
