330ml bottle - apparently the big brother to the Four-Thirty PM. The tagline is 'It's pretty F'n dark now...'. Ha.
This beer pours a fairly solid black abyss, with scant amber basal edges, and a teeming tower of puffy, finely foamy, and creamy brown head, which leaves a bit of random soapscum lace around the glass as it very lazily recedes.
It smells of semi-sweet, roasted caramel malt, toffee squares, dark cocoa nibs, mild cafe-au-lait, some muddled black stone fruitiness, and very tame earthy, musty, and floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy caramel malt, a lesser biscuity toffee sweetness, some free-range ashiness, medium chocolate wafers, day-old coffee grounds, cold cream, a fading bruised pome fruit character, and more understated earthy, leafy, and herbal green hoppiness.
The carbonation is pretty active in its aggressive frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and mostly smooth, with the overwrought bubbles kind of getting in the way of an otherwise swell time here. It finishes off-dry, the malt and cocoa essences lingering with the most brio.
Overall - this appears to be a well-rendered version of the style, with the even 10 points of the ol' boozy-booze not detectable in the least, so good on y'all for that neat little trick. On the other hand, this whole bottle-conditioning thing just isn't working for me - the purported gains are overshadowed by the numerous drawbacks, as noted.
