Bottle from Beer Emporium, Sandbach – drank at home. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small frothy tan head. The aroma is dominated by roasted malts but with hints of cocoa too. Malts again the mainstay in the mouth, plus cola, rye and old school hops with hints of coffee and chocolate. The malts coat the tongue leading to a bitter finish. This is rather nice.
