Pours a dark brown colour with a reddish tint and a small khaki beige head. The aroma is roasted, roasted malts, bitter chocolate, and coffee. A moderately sweet roasted taste, roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee, and dark fruit flavours with a sweetish, roasted finish.

Hand-pulled pint on 25th October 2024, The Robert Fitzharding (a Spoons in Bristol). Dark brew, ruby hue to the body, beige crown. Malty, boozy and heavy. On the sweet side with a 'fruit and nut chocolate bar' sort of taste.

Cask at PoW Beer Festival. Aroma is grainy. With a hint of liquorice. Malts. Opaque. Dark with a red tint. Frothy beige head retreats to the rim. Liquorice and malts in terms of flava. Medium bodied. Slick. Oily. Average carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. As far as trad CAMRA endorsed beers go then this would be a beast of a beer. Not bad at all.

Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. A boozy aroma of raisins mixed with chocolate. In the mouth it has the sweetness of dark fruits and toffee, a biscuit flavouring of malts, and the alcoholic warmth of rum. Raisins again in the finish, and an overall warming glow. This is a belter of a beer – and is dangerously drinkable !

20/2/2020. Cask at the Chelmsford Winter Beer & Cider Festival 2020. Pours very dark brown with a lasting bubbly beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruit, chocolate, toffee, raisins and biscuit. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium to full bodied, soft carbonation. Rich warming earthy and slightly dry finish.

Nearly opaque very dark beer with a decent beige head. Light scent of fruity, toasted malt. Taste follows suit, with the balance nicely done between the sweetness of the fruit and nice, toasty malt. A bit of liquorice too. Not massively complex and suffers from a slightly watery aftertaste / feel but otherwise it's a fairly straightforward beer done pretty well.
