Bottle. Very dark brown color, thick tan head with good retention. Nice aroma of pine dipped in espresso. Taste has bitter chocolate, coffee, pine resin, nice balance. Very tasty.

Draught. Arbitrary score 4/5 for Appearance, as nighttime conditions prevented correct assessment. Minty nose, fresh hops, aroma of liquorice without the sweet connotation. Dark malts and USA hops (surprise, surprise), bitter, dry and tart. Some bitter chocolate. Can’t find it really good - wonder if it is me, or does the beer rubs me the wrong way?
