Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 23/2/2023. Near black in colour with reddish undertones and a slight, beige, head. Aroma of dark fruit, leafy hops, coffee beans and a touch of toastiness. Flavour had chocolate upfront, with some brown sugar, toasted malts and some sweetish notes lingering on in the finish. Good.
