Bottle in Brighstone, IOW. Clear deep brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth and semi dry palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Mellow dark malts, a modest dark chocolate. Pretty artificial plum, it's quite floral and quite sweet and frankly tastes more like Parma Violets! A light and semi dry finish. Okay, this is a clunky beer, but the clunks line up in a row and make something that isn't the worst thing you ever tasted.
