Bottle from B & M, Worcester purchased Saturday 4th January consumed at home Thursday 9th January 2014 Pours dark, dark brown with a tan head. Quite but not massively rich with bitter dark chocolate tussling with lots of roasty, toasty flavours. Very good for not being too sweet, in fact it was a little dry, also good for the abv, it really is very easy drinking for a 6% beer. Not bad. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Live review: hope this is going to be better than the 4% ABV Cask version I had back in 2011. 500ml Bottle: BBD end of Jan 14, I am about to pour it into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home 18th Dec 2013. Really dark body, a deep reddy brown: on top a full foam blanket of tanned mini-bubbles. Coffee and dark chocolate in the aroma, same in the taste. The roasted malts giving a richer and more flavoursome feel than the 4% Cask one. This is a whole lot better with the dark chocolate taste turning a little bitter towards the finish and the coffee esters becoming stronger.
