Smooth dark ruby coloured beer with rich aromas of toasted malt. An initial sweetness followed by a good lingering hop finish and hazelnut after notes.

Bottle from Secretts of Milford. Low key aroma - a blend of malty chocolate and liquorice. Dark cola brown. Beige starts of frothy before disappaiting. Medium bitter. Dark coffee and liquorice lifted by some creamy chocolate. Light-medium bodied. Flat carbonation, a slight fizz in the tail end. Liken the aroma, whilst long, the finish is low key. Decent enough but underpowered.

from lokal shop in Romsay. Thank's Karol. Mala piana, barwa ciemna lecz przeswitujaca, o aromacie coli, moze bardziej cherry coke, nieco ciastek korzennych i zbyt mocne nagazowanie. Ogolnie malo gozkie, malo wyraziste takie pepsicolowate. Odradzam

Cask pint in my local Wetherspoons on 5th Jan 2017. Looked fine, red hue to the brown body, tanned head that lasted the whole pint. Malts rule the nose and flavour, slightly over roasted feel to the brew with a light bitterness in the finish and a mild sweetness initially. Decent.
