Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 7th November 2014. Deep ruby to black with pale tan lacing head. Lush, thick roast malts and spices in aroma. Burnt, roasty malts in-mouth with smoke, cream and nuttiness. Solidly bitter finish - rich and intense. Plenty of body and a full-on engaging mouthfeel. Exquisite, possibly my "Beer of 2014"!!!
