Bottle shared with Nick at the Euston Tap. Pours dark brown with a big, light tan, foam head. The aroma quickly gave away this beer’s poor condition. Though not an old bottle by any means, there is an obvious sourness to the malts. Also detectable are some mild roast notes. Flavor too has sourness and you can just pick out the roast notes. Not very sweet. Medium in body with average carbonation. Some roasty malts to finish but overshadowed by the sourness. Too bad.

Bottled. Near black colour, small brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, some caramel, mild ashes, toasted bread and some mild earthyness. Flavour is quite much the same in a rather pleasant balance.

On gravity at Bristol beer festival, 19/03/10. Near black with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, dark fruit and a lactose tang. Flavour was a similar mix of black coffee, bitter chocolate, leading to a dry, slightly sour finish. Good.

7th September 2007. On tap at Chappel Beer Fest. Opaque very dark brown ale. Lively mix of sour fruitiness and a dry bitterness that lingers in the aftertaste.
