Clear black colour, firm tan head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malts, chocolate, tar, ash, brown sugar with a cinnamon note. Smoky flavour, ash, coffee, roasted malts, liquorice and light chili. Finish coffee, caramel and light chili.
Nice beer, chili heat not too pronounced - for me personally it might’ve been a bit more pronounced, but it is more ’friendly’ and layered this way.
