Opaque dark brown beer, good pale tan head. Palate is light, dry and has a fine minerally crispness. Mild dark chocolate. Touch of milk chocolate and then a little coconut. Whisper of fruity bourbon. Light finish. Decent flavours but feels thin.

Tried at the 2016 Nottingham beer Festival. Almost black colour with a thin tan head. Aroma is musty, roasted malts and alcohol. Taste doesn’t balance the alcohol which makes it harsh.
