Dark black and red in colour, with a complex mixture of chocolate and roast flavours. The use of two different hops, gives the beer a complex feel and smooth finish.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. Aroma is mainly malts. In the mouth it is slightly sweet with dark chocolate, toffee and roasted malts over a buttery biscuit base. There’s a touch of bitterness in the finish. Decent enough if not particularly memorable.

A deep dark brown pour with a small loose beige head. A soft chocolatey aroma, some coffee and malt notes. A sweetish chocolate and raspberry flavour with a little smoke and a drying bitter finish. Very good mild.
