Bottle, Barleycorns, Nantwich. Poured a dense black colour with a thin muddy film of head which gradually dissipated. Dark chocolate and cocoa aroma with some malt too. Flavour is something similar but the chocolate didn’t quite shine through enough; drifts into a slightly bitter finish.Teeters on the edge of being really good, but is lacking the x-factor somehow.
