Keg at Mother Kelly's - Bethnal Green. Pours clear, deep brown with a creamy, khaki head. Rich, with moderate sweet dark malts, mellow cocoa, soft roast, burnt toffee. Medium to full bodied with massaging carbonation and velvety texture. Finishes with decent warmth, more chocolate, some earthy bitterness, raisins. Not bad.

Dark malts, mellow bourbon, dried fruits, light spice. Taste comprises milk chocolate, mellow bourbon, fruit cake, vanilla, toffee, light vinous trace. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Decent easy drinker.
