330ml bottle. Pours almost black with a creamy beige head with great retention. Aroma of dark fruits, chocolate, roast malt, liquorice. Taste is fruity, dark malts, liqourice, chocolate, roast, fruit cakey, a touch of alcohol. Medium bodied, smooth, soft carbonation. Bit of a weird thing about this that's hard to put a finger on, seen a couple of people say nail varnish, I kinda get that... aside from that it's a nice beer.
