Near clear dark brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Airy smooth palate, a little dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Airy dark malts, a touch of chocolate but, a load of tang as well, a very ripe fruity tang. Whisper of molasses. Mild over stewed builders tea .A light and semi dry finish. Tastes olde worlde and, that is never a bad thing.
