Draught @ Kaapse bierfestival. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized light to medium brown head. Smell and taste malts, dark malts, grand marnier, "pims" cookies (thanks to Judyvv who reminded me of the name of these cookies) which I really dislike. Medium body and decent carbonation.

Keg at Birmingham Beer Bash 3; dark opaque brown pour with a creamy dark tan head, aroma has rich dark chocolate with background zesty orange, taste lives up to the aroma, zesty orange, dark orange chocolate, deep roast malts, in your face ABV, light bitterness. Beer of the festival for me.
