TonyJones (41) - Aberystwyth, WALES - MAY 16, 2021UPDATED: MAY 16, 2021 Looks amazing - black as night 🌙 and deep brown head, though this didn't last long.
Not so much of the sweeter aroma, but plenty in the mouth.
Big malt, cigar, chocolate, espresso, and a big bitter punch. Lovely long outro, hides its strength tactfully.
Is it a black DIPA?
Not sure I'd rush to drink a second, but well worth a try.
£5.20 from Bottle & Barrel shop
