Black, small tan head.Salty, lightly roasted nose.Lightly roasted profile, mocha mid, medium bitterness in finish. Tinny overtones that amplify as it warms. Thin and underflavored. Not a good effort. Tap version slighlty better has no tinny overtones.6-3-5-2-12

In practice, this beer was never as good as it was during the testing stage when I first had it. The current review reflects where the beer has basically been for most of its existence. Dark brown. Has a chocolate note, soft body, touch of sweetness but is actually a bit thin in the finish. Ok example
Original review, cask at the Whip, in August, 2007
Looks great - pitch black, nice head. Rich roasty aroma with chocolate, hints of nuts and muscovado sugar. Full, creamy body...just a gorgeous mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Chocolatey, lightly roasty, with light cream notes. Goes down so softly, but with complexity and balance. One of those beers you intend to drink two of but end up drinking ten of. 9 - 5 - 8- 4- 17 = 4.3
