Bottles from Morrisons. Black body with a thick beige head. Faint lacing. Aroma of toffee, orange, ginger and milk chocolate. Flavour of dark chocolate, charred gingerbread and a bitter, steely finish. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Dark and slightly hoppy. Pretty good.

Bottle drunk at home after music jams and swimming. Very dark brown, lovely tall dark tan head. Nose of sweet roast notes, molasses. Full body, sweeter and less dry than the stout. Still a nice balance of bitterness and toasty malt flavor.
