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.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 4 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5

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