A bit of an experimental beer with some random ingredients.
Brewed very strongly in the first 24 hours - overflowed through the airlock. Cleaned up and left to ferment.
Worked very well. Good flavour and nice dark colour.

Notes:
Spiritual successor to the original Black Widow. A nice dark two-can.
At racking the beer is nice and dark. A little more bitter than originally expected, probably from the liquid "old" malt can.
Tasted great at bottling - very big flavours as soon as it enters the mouth. Quite "porter-like".
This was a great drop on Christmas day. Too heavy to drink it all night long, but a nice, thick, flavoursome beer.
