Warning! Early amateur rating! On tap at the Sun Inn - Kelvedon. Quite a bit of toasted malt although the palate is not thick. Hard work to start with but got better when I got used to the level of toasted malt.

Bottled. A red-brown beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt and some caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt lending it a bit of acidity as well as notes of nuts, leading to a bitter and roasted finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
