Can, medium bubbly head, deep brown color, woody hoppy aroma with hints of pine and citrus, flavor is a blend of bitter chocolate and mellow medium grapefruit bitterness, light bread sweetness, hint of coal in the back. Nice and enjoyable.

On cask at the Euston Tap. Pours beautiful black with a small consistent creamy beige head. Aroma is very fresh, hoppy, citrussy with a little bit of sour cream/dairy. Taste is initially full on hoppy bittterness, but smooths off after a couple of sips into a creamy and malty experience. Smooth and medium bodied beer. Finish is initial bitterness fade into smooth. Lovely!
