really rich mocha notes. Great almost pure black poor with white head on top. Taste is a bit dry shallow not as deep and smooth as I was expecting. Wasn’t expecting the big espresso flavours quiet intense with this beer.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a lovely, clear, dark copper coloured body with a huge, creamy, dense and rocky light brown head that is fully lasting and leaves big patches of foam on the glass. The aroma is strong and has the expected notes of roasted malts with faint traces of coffee in the back, but also a very obvious hoppy side with lots of tropical fruity notes. There is some sweetness in the taste, but this is definitely dry stuff. The finish is long and moderate bitter. Also the flavours have these very refreshing hoppy notes in addition to the gently roasted malts. I also get yeast that could have been better hidden. Smooth mouthfeel with a moderate carbonation. This is how a brown ale should be!

33cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours dark brown with a red hint. The lacing is attractive. The nose has pine aroma with just a hint of dark chocolate. The taste has caramel heading into liquorice and there’s a dry malty finish. The palate is rich in texture with a biscuity malty texture and a dry finish. Overall, the aroma is enticing, the taste is interesting but different.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Very dark for a brown ale, nice roasty character, taste of sirup and dark honey, finishes a bit hoppy with tastes of citrus fruit, but not too much. Nice light mouthfeel, quite refreshing and drinkable for such a dark beer.
