Draft at the brewery. Opaque brown. Thin off-white head. Aroma combines praline and added dusty cacao with a berry sour edge. Flavourwise the sour streak is most prominent over a praline and mocha base with added caramel. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable dark lager.

1/3 pint, draught at 3 Locks Taproom, shared with Finn. Black in the glass, fawn-coloured head leaving good lacing on the glass. Inviting roasted malts on the nose, scent of liquorice to it. Flavoured with choco-caramel, earth, and liquorice. Nicely roasted finish. Like it. (Camden, London 16.03.2024).
