Bottle from Kris Wines. Explosive opening with prolonged gushing that left a quarter of the bottle down the sink. Near black with a huge, frothy tan head. Aroma of black coffee and chocolate, with some grassy hops. Full, slightly oily mouth with some sweetness, more roasted malts and a dryish finish with some hops. Good.

Bottle from Coppers, Newcastle. An inky black beer that pours with a very thin tan head. It has rich blackcurrant and chocolate flavours, liquorice, coffee and roasted notes on the finish. Excellent!
