A refreshing dark beer! Dark brown with a white head. Roast malt/coffee notes on the nose lead to chocolate-vanilla and prickly hops on the palate. Finish is cleansing and refreshing.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 08. Very dark brown/ruby, lasting beige head. Some fruit. Good powdery coffee. Good dark fruits. Blackberry/black currant. Actually I pretty much like it. OK so not really intense, but it’s got decent flavours.
