Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM I believe. Pours deep brown with a creamy, beige head. Medium sweet with lovely layered dark malts, chocolate, dark fruits, roast, raisins, earth, ash. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation and velvety texture. Softly warming finish, more chocolate, berries, well toasted malts. Always nice to have a strong dark beer that’s all about the malts. And it’s really good.
