Keg from the Mad Squirrel, Wycombe, during the town's Christmas light switch on event. Black with a beige head. Rich sweetish chocolate up front, a little toffee, and a roasted malt bitterness to finish that becomes slightly more charred in the aftertaste. A little simple maybe, but certainly effective and well balanced. Decent stuff.
