From a 345ml bottle on 4/8/2010. Smells of coffee, cherry liqueur, roasted malt and a little chocolate. In the mouth, there’s lots of coffee and burnt malt flavours, with some toffee - quite flavoursome and full on. The bitterness is quite firm and long. The carbonation is a little too lively for me. All up, an interesting dark ale, if not quite a home run.

Bottle, 11C. Almost black with red tinges. Light tan head dissipates rapidly on the first one; a second is more resilient. Aroma has roasted malt, prunes, cherries, ash and mocha. Doesn’t smell that strongly of coffee. Medium to full body. Taste has some dark roasted malt and some fruit sweetness but is really dominated by coffee bitterness and a little astringency. Finishes quite bitter with hops as well as coffee. Close to being a porter rather than a brown ale. A little too much coffee for the beer here - it could have done with a little more sweetness for my tastes.
