A strong dark old ale which is conditioned for 6 weeks before release. It is black in colour with a tan head and a malty-chocolate aroma. The taste is vinous fruit, malt and bitter chocolate.

Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival 04.02.11 Pours dark brown with off white rim of bubbles. Softer in the mouth than I was expecting but a bitterness headed by a dark bitter chocolate came through, the hops are kept underneath by the fruit & chocolate and a distinct maltiness. Moreish, a touch safer, and less challenging then some Hopshackle beers but bloody good nonetheless. Wish I could have had a bit more time to relax and sip this and some of those other dark beauties on offer. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8
