Boxing Day beer in Barnoldswick, much appreciated after a tough terrain day of hiking around Malham Cove. As the beer is session strength, the cocoa, which has a grittiness, never transfers fully into chocolate, is gentle in both aroma and taste, but pleasant.

Extremely dark mahogany brown to light black topped with a beige cap that thins to edgework.

Taste comprises dark malts, toasted brown sugars, chocolate, charr.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close.
Decent enough cask stout.
