Can from Squires, Wokingham. Very dark brown. Glossy. Thick foamy beige head with decent lacing. Aroma has coffee and praline with a herbal bitterness. Flavourwise it's actually quite sour, tangy. Wasn't expecting that. A bitter herbal edge. Peripheral coffee and cacao in the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Surprised me in terms of flavour but pretty good.

[On tap at the Castle Tap, Reading.] A glossy almost black pour with a thick caramel coloured head; aroma of roasted malts with some chocolate and coffee; velvety in the mouth with a fruity coffee taste; then a burnt grain bitterness to finish. Very drinkable.

Foamy tan head on a very dark brown still body.
Strange - almost chemical aroma.
Medium bodied, foamy with a smoother cloying back.
Malt, meaty, metallic & chocolate tastes with a well hopped finish.
Nice one.
