Bottle from the brewery stall at Walton Farmers Market. Aroma is rich - malts and chocolate. Opaque cola brown. Thick foamy beige head. Sweet creamy chocolate and sweet berries. The latter provides a touch of sourness. Develops some charcoal bitterness. Medium bodied. Single cream mouthfeel. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Good stuff.
