Dark reddish brown beer, thin head. Smells of malt and toffee. Flavour has a bit of those too with it being quite dry and toasty in the finish and the sweetness fading out altogether. It's decent but it'd feel better balanced if the sweetness kept up.

330ml bottle. Dark Reddish brown with a moderate white head. Big roasted malt aroma, flavour is caramel, a little grass, and very much belies the ABV
