Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of madmitch76. Pours a reddish brown with a tiny, off-white head. Sweet, syrupy aroma - a little roast. Rich body, low in carbonation, a little woody, overripe fruit, greasy hops and a rather bitter and boozy finish. 150413

Bottle at Deanso’s crappy music tasting. Poured a dark mahogany. The aroma is hugely bitter, The flavour is bitter with lots of liqourice and spice. A superb beer that deserves its rating.
