Keg at the brewpub. Pours deep black-brown with a fine, tan foam head. Dark fruits in the nose with secondary notes of cocoa. Big sweet flavor with oily dark fruits, light roast, raisins, figs. Full bodied with fine carbonation and a chewy mouthfeel. Lightly warming on the finish with ripe, gooey dark fruits, subtle roasted malts, a bit of earth, charred wood. Not bad.

Keg at the brewery. Opaque black oily dark brown coloured pour with no head. Aroma is woody roast, solvent, booze, caramel. Flavour is composed of nutty, caramel and soft roast malts, warming alcohol and solvent, lingering wood. Some apple lingering. Signs of a stressed ferment. Palate is medium sweet, oily.

Keg at the brewpub, 24/10/14. Light black with limited tan spotting and edgeing that soon vanishes to nyadda. Nose is earthy, cocoa notes, liqourice, light roast, treacle toffee, pretty simplistic. Taste comprises toffee, dark malts, chocolate, liqourice, molasses, light roast. Medium + bodiment, fine carboantion, light booze in the close. Very simplistic for the style, I soon tired of this one, one of the poorest offerings on show at their launch night.
