A strong Ale with sweet malts, chocolate mid taste and a clean bitter finish, all set against a fruity yeast fragrance.

Cask at Marble Arch Inn, Manchester. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma has notes of chocolate as well as lighter notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, roasted malt, and chocolate, as well as lighter notes of cocoa beans and alcohol, leading to a dry, bitter, and roasted finish.

Cask at Merton Beer Festival July 7th, 8th 2006. Deep, deep brown with barely the faintest trace of a head. Whiff of dark chocolate on the nose and immediately on that initial taste. A sticky beer that coats envelopes your taste buds with its cocoa qualities, nicely bitter and sweet and very drinkable for its strength.

Cask gravity Londo Drinker BF. Very dark brown with no head. Chocolate/liquorice, kind of chewy/choc, some good bitterness on end. Very satisfying beer if a tad powdery in the mouth
