Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Black with a thin off-white head. Has a denser tasting roasted malts with some smoked notes, which are best in its nose.

Bottle from Connolly's Wines, Solihull. Poured a hazy medium brown with a bubbly off white head. The aroma is earthy, grainy malt, light smoke. The flavour is moderate liqourice bitter with a light, watery, washing-up water, dry malt, light smoke, hop bitter palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Watery and way too light with no backbone and no carbonation. Not the greatest beer i've tasted and I would not buy another. Best Before Date 30th April 2018. Drainpoured 90% of the 568ml bottle.

Bottle thanks to AndrewC drunk at home. Near black beer no real head. Some smoke yes. Some chocolate. Some water slash not integrated malt. Some residual sugar in the malt. The smoke is interesting no doubt just not sure the rest works.

Cask-conditioned on gravity at the Exeter Winter Ales Festival 14/1/2017. Dark red in colour, with a moderately-sized, off-white, head. Sweetish, slightly smoky beer, with some toasty malts, berry fruits, leafy hops and a touch of porridge creaminess, before a smoky finish. Good.
