Black with thin head. Aroma is burnt charcoal and treacle toffee. There's a bad mix of very strong bittersweet notes and a certain astringency I associate with forest fruits. That, combined with the high carbonation makes it fairly unpalatable.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. The venue confirms this was the version I drank !. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a plentiful dark beige head and excellent lacing. The nose was mainly chocolate malts with some vanilla thrown in. In the mouth the main sensation is extreme bitterness. It is smoky with ash and coffee grounds. There is also some juiciness like ribena and hints of aniseed. Finish is bitter and salty with juicy overtones. Really nice !
