Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry earthy finale. Decent enough CDA-lite.

Bottle shared at The Kernel, London - huge thanks to Mad Man Marshall for this Chelmsford beast. Pours black-brown with a foamy, tan head. Nose of burnt pine, wood and light grass. Light to medium sweet flavor with good roast, burnt wood, earth. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Dry, earthy bitter finish with more burnt pine, faint cocoa, roast. Good.

Bottle thanks to Tommy M! It pours deep brown with a small light tan head. The nose is smooth roast, toast, cocoa and coffee grinds. The taste is toasty, earth, roasted malt, coffee, mild acidity and some citrus peel. Medium body and fine carbonation. Smooth and rather tasty.

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Opaque black - brown beer, little pale tan head. Palate is light and dry. The malt is fairly dry with a touch of roast and coffee. Just a little hop. Dry finish. It comes over more like a light dry porter than a black IPA/
