Cask at CPK, London. Pours dark, ruby-brown with a light, filmy head. Cocoa, roasted malts, and hints of fruits in the nose. Light sweet flavor, dry roasted chocolate malts, some prune. Light to medium in body with soft carbonation. Dryish, roasty finish, slightly oily, cocoa, character seems to fade a bit too quickly. Some earth hops to linger, though. Alright stuff.
