This is not a shy and retiring beer - it is aggressive in almost every way, very roasty and hoppy with a fairly high level of bitterness. It's surprising how it all works together, but it does. Some people have commented that it's quite 'Ashy' so if you want something a bit gentler then try reducing the Chocolate, Roast Barley and Dark Crystal by a third each.
