Amazing colour considering I only used Pilsner, extra pale and homemade candi syrup. I got an immediate hit of breadcrusts whilst I was pouring followed by a rich dark fruit fig aroma. Lots of the same in the flavour, very complex and boozy, low bitterness and quite sweet, but not cloying, it actually finishes fairly dry with a slight velvet chocolate lingering on the tongue. Nice medium carbonation and a small creamy white head that fades to a thin rim and then disappears. It's still fairly young, I bottled this on the 31st of January. I feel it could use a few more months to mellow out the alcohol, but it's pretty damn good either way.
