Bottle at home in London - picked up at the London Brewers Market. Pours deep brown with a creamy, mocha head. Moderate roast in the nose, some old coffee grounds, ash. Light to medium sweet flavour with some sugary milk chocolate, a faint metallic note, some ashy minerality, dried berries, leather. Light bodied with soft carbonation; the condition is lacking. Finishes with a little acrid cocoa, old coffee, subtle burnt rubber, earthy bitterness. A bit rough overall.
