750 mL bottle.
The usual hoopla that is associated with DFH (relatively) limited releases that is beginning to leave me cold. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of DFH but the hysteria that has been building over a number of beers in the recent past is getting tedious. Ho hum.
Pour reports nothing. It’s jet black and there is not much head. Perhaps a few red highlights but so what. Good but standard.
Not a particularly rich RIS, in fact rather average. Solid roast notes, a decent splash of alcohol and perhaps some spice from the odd ingredients, but ultimately sort of unmemorable. I would not go out of my way for this, and in the end it does not stand out.
Again, don’t get me wrong this is a tasty, nice beer, but some of the hysterical yabbering about this beer has been a little ridiculous. By all means buy a bottle and enjoy it, but expect a standard, good RIS and leave it at that.
Ultimately, as my 11 year old would say, “whateva”.
