Jet black, healthy tan head. Rich roasty aroma, some pleasant hops.
Sweet retronasal hops - a touch nettley, but sweet. Fairly dry
palate, a touch mouthcoating powderiness. Very rich roasty taste with a
tingly, almost nettley twist. Very tasty and well balanced, but
doesn’t quite have everything in perfect order. Up there with Nekron,
