Keg, shared with Finn at Hopbunker. Deep rosewood coloured body under a stable fawn-coloured head. Fair lacing. Slightly roasted aromas with notes of liquorice and grainy chocolate. Dark doughy flavours joined by moments of liquorice and toffee. Roasted, mid-sweet malty finish. Medium bodied. Pleasant. (Cardiff 02.05.2017).
