Medium-bodied,almost smoky flavour which doesn't taste too bad, but in the background lurks something else which doesn't taste too good.

Copper-colour, nice head. Oily hop-aroma with some coconut. Palate might be a bit on the thin side but the BIG taste of hops makes up for that.

Sampled cask conditioned. Dark. Rather full bodied and buttery with low bitterness, and Broughton's typical sweetish-fruity house character.
