The head is impressive with a rich treacle colour. The pour was thick engine oil but the mouthfeel dies not come across that way. The aroma does offer a little vanilla and mixed spices but couldn't pin point a singular. The taste is dynamic. You get a tang of blackcurrant, blackberry and/or plum upfront with a hint of aniseed carrying them. Then after the sharp fruit it dies off into spicy peppery bittering.

4.2.24 Pours a deep black colour with a dissipating tan head. Chocolate flavour with a hint of plum. Nice.
