Manchester Beer Festival 2020. Near black and there's enough here to keep you interested, but it's a fairly regular brew with decent roasted malts.

Cask-conditioned at the Angel on the Green, York 18/12/2019. Near black in colour, with a frothy, beige, head. Milk chocolate, coffee beans, a touch of liquorice, some leafy hops, leading to a toasty finish. Enjoyable.
