Pours a deep black with almost no head. Aroma of alcohol, smoke, cocoa, and licorice. Flavor is slightly bitter and salty, with a big iodine/ whisky bite. Finishes short and somewhat dry.

Cask - Dartford WMC. A medium, frothy tan head is supported by a thick dark brown body of beer. Sweet vanilla and milk chocolate notes with roasted malts, a hint of coffee and touch of woodiness on the nose. Loads of roasty malts, smokey, ashy flavours, a bit of liquorice with a dry bitter chocolate and woody end. Medium mouthfeel, coats the palate with a lingering dryness and low to medium carbonation.

The aroma is very nice with toasted malt, chocolate, coffee, raisins, alcohol, and wood. The appearance is dark brown with almost no head. The flavor is like the aroma but also tastes burnt. The palate is thin. Overall a nice smelling beer but the palate is way to thin and the beer is almost flat.

Bottle, 33cl - Opaque black beer with a small head. Aroma is malty with notes of sourish smoke, rubber and coffee. Flavor is malty with notes of smoke, chocolate, coffee and vanilla. Nothing extraordinary but definitely drinkable and pretty good if you like whisky.
