Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Pours a very dark chocolate brown colour with a medium sized creamy looking beige head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, chocolate, dark fruits, molasses and roasted malts. Taste is very similar, a nice maltyness, a tiny hint of cherries with a very slight hop bitterness at the end. Very nicely balanced. Nice smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Medium to full bodied. Moreish. Very nice

Cask. A whole pint! Hoste Arms, Burnham Market, Norfolk. Clear, deep chestnut brown. Thick and creamy, lasting, beige head. Good looking beer. Nose has steeped vine fruits. Some fruity dark chocolate. Some bonfire toffee. Taste has a lightly astringent, vinous bitterness, but is mostly toffee sweet. Light body. Low carbonation. Tangy fruit to finish.
