Cask at the NWAF, 2012. My notes didn’t note down the colour but I imagine it was dark! Dark roast coffee aroma with a hint of vanilla and smoke. Chocolate, vanilla and coffee flavour. Very tasty.

Bottle from a London shop. Pours dark brown with a creamy tan head. Aroma is mostly chocolate, though there seems to be a hint of smoke. Flavor is chocolate with some fruit. A little dark malt. A little chalky. Tastes a bit like a mild. Ok. Just read the description. I guess it must taste a lot like a mild.
