6/3/2019. Growler sample, courtesy of Danlo, cheers Ed!. Pours almost black with minimal head. Aroma of bitter dark chocolate, roasted malt, lactose, liquorice, coffee and vanilla with a little dried fruit. Light sweetness, heavy bitterness. Medium body, slick texture, very soft carbonation. Bitter roasted finish. Thought it a bit too bitter to really enjoy this.

Cask to growler fill from Caps Off, Bishop Auckland. Pours black brown in colour with afew bubbles on top and aroma of chocolate, roasted malt. Taste is roasted malt, ash, dark chocolate, woody, vanilla with earthy bitterness. Smooth, oily mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry roasty bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.
