Coffee and malt on the nose, this beer has good chocolately undertones that have good length making it very easy to drink.

500ml bottle. Dark and black in colour with a deep chocolate foam that collapses quickly. Flavour is toffee, coffee and chocolate and oh so good. Roasted malt in the aroma with a creamy smooth texture.

Bottle. Very dark brown with a large light tan head that lasts pretty well. Aroma has slightly acrid roast, chocolate, coffee;’ hints of plums, vanilla, lemon and grass. Some dark toffee sweetness under burnt malt and coffee astringency. Dry bitter finish with some coffee astringency. Some hop flavours in the bitterness that don’t quite sit with the rest of flavours at first, but balance improves as it gets a little warmer.
