GLB draught, 9/19/24. Clear, mahogany with ruby tints. Small, dark beige head, slowly to smattering of cover. Rich chocolate and vanilla. Not too much roast. Seems fairly malty. Clean. Rich and fruity, with a very warm-fermented yeast, albeit not English, with no sign of butter. Just big fruits and gentle roast and chocolate. Med-light body. Good attenuation. Tons of fruity yeast lingering.

Pours deep mahogany-tinged cola into an English pint. Mocha head with medium retention crackles and recedes to skim surface. Chocolate syrup and coffee aromas. Sharp with sweet chocolate and molasses upfront turning to thick espresso before the lasting sweet lacto finish.
