Pours black with a small fading light tan head.Nose shows enticing dark chocolate, toffee, caramel and roasted malt. Nice stuff!Very similar flavours but more of an emphasis on the roasted malt. Very mild finish with a soft roasty bitterness.Carbonation is a little high really, body a little watery. Could use some extra malt.

Bottle, pours pretty much black, tan head settles to a good coat. Very mild aroma has roasted notes and coffee. Nice balanced roast/ fruit/ hop flavours. Smooth mouthfeel backed up with a little bite at the end.
