Only found on-tap, limited edition.
Pitch black, nice retention tan head, looks nice.
Smell isn't too strong, some porter notes coming off, like cocoa, bit of coffee, dark malts, faint hops.
Taste is really something else. Don't really know if it's infused with Parma violets, but that characteristic is spot-on. Porter chocolate and coffee bland nicely with tons of blueberries, strawberries, all kinds of forest fruit and extra flower petals, not too perfumey, but nice and subtle. Candi sugar in there too. Finishes with a bit of burnt malt and chocolate, a touch of hops, but the fruitiness passes on.
A great surprise, had 3 of these in a row.
