Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Nice, deep chestnut in colour, with a slight off-white head and moderate carbonation. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and berry fruits with a touch of leafy hop. Full, slightly oily mouth feel with more chocolate, some spice, hint of toasted malts and a gentle finish. Very good.
