Bottle. Dark brown/black sporting a good beide head. Aroma of malts and dried fruits. Taste of chocolate, malts, raisins, molasses and dried fruits with tiny hints of liquorice. Distinct bitterness. Low carbonation. Thin but also creamy mouthfeel. Very neat and a little bit more tasteful than the cask version I reckon.

Bottle thanks to Sarky: Poured a deep brown black with a creamy light brown head. Aroma is rich roasted malts, hint of chocolate, ashy. Taste is bitter forward, then the thick chocolate roasted malts roll in. A good drinking mild.
