Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Poured a deep dark brown colour with a very plump off white head. Some pissy hop and vague chocolate in the nose. Very lively carbonation that was rather off putting. Palate slightly thin. Fruity hop bitter finish. Not bad but became a bit tiresome towards the end of the 500ml bottle.

500ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a large head. Aroma is lemon citrus, some spicy chocolate. Faint. Taste has some lemon to start. Bitter, chocolate roasty finish. Too much carbonation.

Cask at The Euston Tap. Pours a clear brown with a tight and foamy, off-white head. Loads of pine in the aroma, with faint soap. Great flavor, medium sweet, lots of juicy hops, pine (not too resinous), nice roasted malts, melon, grapefruit and grass. Medium in body with fine, smooth carbonation. Mild sticky finish, good balance, lingering pine and roasty earth. Hints of burnt cocoa. Really good beer.
