A true black beauty, this beguiling belle packs a flavoursome arsenal. Smoky roasted barley with notes of charred caramel. Big, bold, and beautiful.

330ml panda from LCB. Pours a dark brown with small beige top. Nice aroma of roasted malt, chocolate biscuit, oats, coffee, hay. Taste maintains that malt complexity with coffee and roast notes, some caramel, biscuit, liquorice, and a light hoppy spice finish. Medium bodied, drying, fine carbonation. Excellent.

From cask at Dog & Bell, Deptford, London, 27.05.22. Ebony. Beige head. Very fine aroma and taste of roasted malt, bonfire, ash, pine and coffee. Balanced with moderate bitterness and a slight sourness. Good!
