Darkest ruby to black in colour. Deep roasty coffee-like aroma dominates with a hint of chocolate in the background. Roast and pleasant bitterness also dominates the flavour and contrasts the creamy mouthfeel. Easy drinking and moreish despite the intensity of flavour. Classic pairing – freshly shucked oysters. Also pairs with roast meats and dark desserts.

On tap at Heart of Darkness, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out dry oats and a touch of toasted malt. Flavour is along the same lines, with oats and dry toasted malt. Nice body, with an oaty finish. Very nice.
