Good cherry and chocolate aroma, though slightly fake, has good black body and modest foam. Flavour is good cherry and chocolate, sweet but not excessive. Mouthfeel is full but a little tepid, cask ales don't have to be like this, someone should tell the people at Callister. However it delivers what's promised in an average manner.

On cask at Callister, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out plenty of cherry upfront, with some toasted malt and a hint of earthy dry cocoa. Flavour is fruity and dry, with gentle cherries, earthy dry cocoa powder, and bitter bready malt on the finish. Light residual sweetness. Underwhelming palate — the cask doesn't work too well on this beer, in my opinion. Meh.
