Cask (backlog). Deep amber colour with a minor head. Aroma is chocolate, some nutty notes as well as some ripe fruits. Flavour is chocolate, liquorice, ripe fruits, mild bitterness and a bit syrupy notes. Easy to drink.

Huge caramel and chocolate brew. Unbalanced, but not horrible, but a sample at EBF was more than enough.

During a late lunch break at EBF I met the brewer, and he advised me to give this one a try. So I did, went to the British bar and got the brew from cask. Black as pitch, maybe with a brownish tint. Mildly aroma of roasted malts. Sweet, dark malts in flavour followed by a touch of liquorice and complemented by bitter coffee notes towards the ending. A bit diluted in the mouth, otherwise satisfying (13.09.2008).
