The Black and roasted barley malts are fermented to dryness to provide perfectly balanced full malt flavours. Golding varieties of Kentish hops are used early and late in the boil to add a fresh clean bitterness.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 22 Jan 2009) Very dark, almost black colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty, roasted, slightly smoky nose with notes of coffee, cocoa and dark fruit. Roasted, malty taste with coffee, dark fruit and hints of smoke. Really dry. Fairly thin body. In short: roasted coffee and cocoa with a puff of smoke.

Cask (@The Rake, Southwark): Literally black, firm, extremely persistent and lacy beige head; dry roast-malty nose with an almost smoked touch; light bodied, moderate bitter flavour; dry roast-malty finish with a light maltiness and fruitiness. Quite good, but a bit light bodied..........
