Bottle ordered from Inn At Home, Newbury. Aroma had salt liquorice, sweet berries and a coffee core. Opaque dark brown. Thin frothy beige head. Light-medium bitter. Roasty. Salty. A touch of vanilla. Like that it makes me think of salt liquorice. Light bodied. Slick. A tad creamy. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Decent tangy stuff.
