On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours almost black with minimal tan head and good lacing. There’s roasted malts, liquorice and coconut in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy but the texture is a tad watery. Flavour had roasted malts and vanilla initially, with traces of dark fruits and almonds coming through later, leading to a slightly dry finish. This is decent – the flavouring isn’t overdone.
