Bottle shared at Cotteridge Convention 2018. Cheers! Pours black-brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose holds ashy roast, brown bread. Light to medium sweet flavour with notes of dry cocoa and earthy hops. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with some dry, bittersweet baking cocoa. Not bad.

Bottle split at Cotteridge Convention IV, many thanks, 23/06/18. Light black with a decent tan covering. Nose is chocolate, spice, molasses, fruit cake. Taste comprises earthy fruits, mellow barrel, black peppery spice, charr, roast malts, toffee, dried fruits. Medium plus bpdy, fine carbonation, drying close with a light boost. Passable BA impy ... sips ok but the barrel doesn't really come alive and I preferred the base beer.
