Cask at GBBF 2015. It pours clear deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is toasty, bitter-sweet, grainy, dark fruits and cherry cola. The taste is simple, sweet roast, grainy, cola, cocoa, dirt and brown bread with a short finish. Medium body and, fine carbonation and kind of watery mouth-feel. A pretty basic dark ale.
