Balck with quick fading head. Aroma and flavour have a lot of roasted ashy bitter malts. Delicate raisin fruitiness too.

Cask at the Peterborough beer Festival 2017. A dark mahogany brown coloured pour with a halo of light tan head. Aroma is sweaty hay, charcoal, thatched cottage. Flavour is composed of dark roast, rustic roast, charcoal, tangy finish. Palate is medium light, rounded, biting roast bitterness. Not bad.
