A old favourite from around 10 years ago, seen on discount at Morrison's at £1.40. Great value for a superb easy to drink ale. Tastes of citrus & has a zingy end

Bottle.
A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, minimal head.
A- Malty, cocoa, roasty.
F- Roasty, cocoa, faint smoke.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, roasty finish.
O- Hardly any barrel flavor other than added smoke but is that from smoking the malt or the barrel? Wish there was a lot more scotch influence in this and maybe a touch of sweetness. This tasted like a barrel aged Guinness.

Smelled of coffee/chocolate. Very dark color. Excellent flavor. First impression is slight sweetness but immediately overtaken by the bitterness. Chocolate after taste. Thick but not too thick. Overall, a good beer.
