Pitch black with a complex tapestry of dark malts that are rich and laden with mocha, bitter cocoa and oats. The hop aroma is fresh, balanced and spicy and drives a tantalisingly clean finish.

Hand-pulled cask pint about 3 hours before Mat had his in the same pub on 9th Nov 2015 (after I had told him it was on). Poured a solid black with a deep, foaming tan coloured head. Aroma is burnt, yet semi-sweet malts. The taste is over roasted/burnt maltiness again with a mild sweetness which offsets the bitterness nicely. I much prefer Salopian darker beers.

Cask pint @ Montys, Shrewsbury. Pours black with frothy tan head. Aroma is sweet cocoa. Good wholesome full body with a soft roasted bitterness and a teasing treacle and mocha sweetness that gives a great rounded character. Solid.
