A cold-fermented strong, dark, beer. With Munich and Vienna malts forming the base and a scattering of dark malts, this beer has plenty of sweet and malty body. It is hopped with new and classic European hops, including Styrian Wolf and Hallertau, for a fruity hit and a hint of spice to balance the rich molasses flavours. This beer is something a wee bit stronger, with a smooth and clean finish.

Can bought at Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Aroma has perfumed dark fruits and liquorice. Dark. Cola tint. Thick foamy beige head that attempts to escape the glass and throttle me, which is what I suspect my wife wants to do as I am forcing her to watch Beer Masters. Light-medium bitter. Mocha. Spice. Light liquorice. A fruity edge. Medium bodied. Oily. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Easy drinking. Enjoyable.

On keg at Monty's Bar. Appearance - opaque mat black with a creamy tan head. Nose - coffee, roast and dark chocolate. Taste - bitter chocolate and coffee. Palate - medium bodied, very bitter and roasty on the finish. Overall - a bit challenging but worth the effort.
