Rich, dark and full of malt flavours, this black bitter owes its characteristics to the large amount of chocolate malt giving it a velvety smooth rich coffee finish. No aroma hops are added to this beer, instead seven types of grain are used to develop the flavour.

Bottle. Dark brown almost black, smooth very small offwhite to light brown head. aroma of chocolate, perhaps coffee, dark malts, very slight roasted note. flavor is slightly salty, licorice, faint chocolate, water, faint roasted grains. palate is very watery and thin overall a watery beer with some flavor, but comes off as lacking something. Doesnβt help that it is almost totally flat. quite boring.

Bottle. Black beer with a light fizzy brown head. The aroma is very watery and very mildly bitter. The flavour is very gently bitter and roasted with a milky undertone. Overall quite a disappointing dark beer.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt, nice. The flavor is sweet malty with notes caramel, nuts, roasted malt, leading to a dry nutty finish. The body is thin.
