Cask at Craft Clerkenwell. It pours dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma is rich malty action, earthy, umami, coffee grounds, dirt, bit of spice, dark fruits and leather. The taste is dry, sort of bitter, earthy, toasty, cocoa, umami, treacle, malt loaf, rather savoury, burnt coffee grounds and meat with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body, low carbonation and oily mouth-feel. I am not sure the balance is quite there, could be done with a touch more sweetness. Fair.

500ml bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield - Dark ruby-brown with a medium sized tan head that quickly recedes to a thin film. Fantastic aroma of malt, toffee, dark fruit, and a hint of spice. Full bodied without being sticky or cloying, very nice. Lovely, complex flavour - malt, caramel, brown sugar, dark dried fruit, toasted nuts - and a warm, lingering finish. Very good.
