Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy deep brown with a nice khaki head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, charred, biter - sweet, liquorice allsorts, treacle, dried fruits and fruit cake. The taste is firmly dry, bitter - sweet character, earthy, woody, treacle, molasses, plenty of umami, liquorice, toasty, slightly charred, toothy and grey with a drying, finish. Average body and average carbonation. Rich and savoury. Plenty of flavour for the abv. Nice one.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep brown to black with amber chinks. Tan to beige head. Nose - earthy, toffee and a hint of liquorice. Taste - toffee, malt loaf and liquorice. Palate - interesting, rich finish, then drops a level but keeps running beyond that so good linger. Overall - very pintable.
