A marvellously complex black beer. A mellow bitterness and subtle hop aroma balance the robust amber and roast malt flavours.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on St Patrick’s Day 2024. Deep reddish sepia with pale tan foam and scant lacing. Mild roast malt aroma. Sweet roastiness in-mouth with earthiness, coffee and pungent notes. A sweet roasty finish. Medium bodied with an engaging mouthfeel.

Cask, on gravity, at Tewkesbury Winter Beer Festival, 5/2/2016. Black in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Aroma of toasty malts, plain chocolate and leafy hops with some liquorice in the background. Flavour had more fruit, chocolate and a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

NWAF 23 Jan 13. Svart. Lavt luftig skum. God sviskearoma. Søt. Smaken er tørr frukt med litt røstethet i bakgrunnen. Bra integrert. Litt tørr ettersmak.

Cask at the Bow Bar. Pours black with a minimal red tinge. Aromas of dark chocolate and coffee. Taste has more dark chocolate and coffee. Medium body, creamy texture and a long dry finish. One of the highlights of the day, a lovely beer.
