Thanks to jjsint for sharing with Finn and me. On keg at Ale Wagon. A beige head over a deep rosewood body. Bubbly ring to the rim. Dark malty nose, semi-sweet. Rather powerful taste of toffee, chocolate and almond. Woody. Smooth,, mid-sweet malt-driven end. Well bodied. A nice one. (10.02.2019).

Keg at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Dark brown with a touch of off-white head. Light aroma of molasses, creme coffee, a touch of liquorice. Bittersweet taste with burned malts. Nicely carbonated with a coffee and caramello aftertaste. I quite like this.
