31/1/2024. Cask at the 15th Colchester Winter Ale Festival. Pours very dark brown with a small creamy/frothy off-white to beige head. Good looking beer. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruits, ash, caramel, raisins. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness and body. Light creamy mouthfeel, average to soft carbonation. Developing bitter roasting to finish. Enjoyable.
