Bottle. Deep dark brown color. Malt, licorice, plum and a hint of chili in the aroma. Thinnish. malty sweet flavor with molasses, plum and licorice. Chili notes are luckily well hidden, but just get a bit stronger in the aftertaste, especially as the beer warms up.

Cask at the Peterborough beer Festival 2019. A hazed dirty brown coloured pour with a thin whispy beige head. Aroma is punchy, roast, green pepper, coffee, ashy roast, grass. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, black roast, nutty roast, liquorice, little tangy tart fruit, apple. Bitter roast. Palate is semi sweet, tangy, lowish condition. Fine.

Cask, gravity at Merton Beer Festival, Merton, Oxon Saturday 24th February 2018 . Pours dark brown with a slim bubbly head. A little fruity but then there is a little liquorice, it's got plenty of chilli in fact it is a bit of a one trick pony on that front the Plum struggling to assert itself. Ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Gravity dispense at Steel City Beer Festival 2016 - Dark brown body with thin beige head. Nose is dark fruit, a bit of spice. Taste is dark fruits, sweet coffee, and the chili then kicks in. Okay.

On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - coffee beanand creamy chocolate. A hint of green pepper. Taste - forthright chili and chocolate. Still some coffee lurking. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - good though chilli a bit more than I prefer.
