This is a keeper.
A thick, smooth tan coloured head which forms slightly after the pour. The brew is black as pitch and looks full and rich.
Aroma has a light sourness and a host of roasted barley smells. There is some coffee and chocolate along with a dark berry aroma.
The feel is very rich, creamy, round and full.
Tastes are roasted coffee and black berries with some creamy chocolate and a lovely bright and light citrus tingle. I found some honey and sweet malt syrup tastes underneath the main flavours and the finish was great, lots of roasted barley tastes with a nice citrus overlay.
This is a great beer. I am trying out a corned beef recipe this evening and I am saving one of these to have with it.
Well done on this one.

Neat-oh! This pours chocolate dark with a semi-sweet chocolate head.
Aroma is of earth and citrus with some mould thrown in.
First taste is of citrus, coffee and bitter chocolate. In the middle is a nice creaminess with a slight citrus after bite which stays till the end. As it warms the citrus comes on really strong. Almost like eating a grapefruit without a shot of sugar. I like it. This is a fine beer.
