An apocalyptic Autumn ale with unique herbal notes balanced by the sweetness of black treacle. Pleasantly dark, smooth and deep.
Target hops are combined with Pale Ale, Crystal, Brown and Black malts. The addition of black treacle makes this beer sinfully good.

(Bottle) Clear Brown small white head. Nice aroma - roast nuts, hints of coffee and ash. Medium body, well carbonated. Taste has ash notes, some bitterness over burnt sugar. Unusual and drinkable.

Mahogany brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of bittersweet treacle notes. Also backed up by earthy, floral bitterness. It's a shame that it's so gassy.

50cl bottle from ALdi, Bracknell. A dark copper colour with a tight cream head; earthy, herbal aroma with a trace of licorice; rather thin with a taste of burnt sugar and malt; and an earthy finish with some coffee grounds. Hobgoblin is my benchmark for this sort of autumnal beer, and this is falls a long way short.

Cask at Chiltern Taps, HW, 29/10/17. Copper to brown in colour with a decent off white head. Nose is toffee, light spice, biscuit, mellow fruit rinds. Taste comprises brown sugar, dusty, biscuit, brown bread, light toffee. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. A little wishy washy.

Cask, half-pint in Oddfellows, Exeter on 11th Nov 2017. Good looking beer, copper bronze body, off-white crown. Malty but not really treacle sweet at all, caramel and slight toffee flavours, light hop bitterness in the finish. Liked it.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Swindon Beer Festival 26/10/2017. Copper in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Leafy hops, a hint of spice, sweet, golden syrup, notes, with some biscuity malts, before a suggestion of the house yeast character and moderately bitter finish. A good beer.
