Rochdale Beer Festival 2016. Has very light, and somewhat smooth tasting dark-cum-roasted malts - all of which are very easy-supping.

Quite dark color with a tan layer on top. Decent intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Semi dry ending. Coffee, roast, mild fruity and some chocolate in the flavor.

Cask at the Squirrel, Rugby - 25/07/12. Dark brown approaching black with a thin off-white head. Roast malts, licquorice, leather, wood and a touch of chocolate on the nose. Taste expands from the nose with a dry bitter sweet aftertaste. I enjoyed this, it had bollocks and a decent body, not like some of it’s over watery siblings!
