15th July 2010. Chelmsford Beer Festival. Opaque dark brown beer. No real head but has a little carbonation. Light semi dry palate. Fresh tasting dark malt. A little coffee is immediately noticeable. Chocolate too but much subtler. Well balanced light orange hop with even a little bubblegum coming through. Nice flavour profile - a tad overdry but a decent mild.
