500ml bottle from Brooke's Richmond. Dark brown colour with an orangey tinge, large foamy beige head leaving some lacing and aroma of dark malts, chocolate & coffee. Taste is roasted malty, caramel, toasty with ash, chocolate, coffee and earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry roast bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.
