Pours black in colour with a small frothy beige head that settled to a thin film. The aroma is lightly roasted, chocolatey, with some dark berry notes. A moderately to light sweet taste, chocolate, and dark berry flavours with a smooth light dryness and fruity bitterness in the finish.

[50cl bottle from Longacres, Bagshot.] A glossy black pour with a fast fading beige coloured head; aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and caramel; rather thin in the mouth, but with caramel, chocolate and coffee flavours; then a drier finish with some purple fruit, coffee grounds, and charred grains. Very drinkable.
