Bottle at a tasting. Lots of carbonation, also great amount of intense flavours. Fruity, dark fruits, alcohol, rich roastiness, lightly burnt, chocolate. Interesting with its carbonation. Easy drinking, good.

Sampled thanks to cgarvieuk, 12oz bottle pours a murky brown with no head. Nose has mild smoke, quite a bit of tea, brown malt, brown sugar. Flavor is sweet with turbinado sugar, plenty of black tea, brown sugar. Peppery finish. Could be worse.

Bottle shared at Scopey place birthday tasting. Many thanks to Scopey for this one. Pitch, black coloured pour with a lasting frothy mid tan head. Aroma is meaty, black malts, soy, salty, jammy fruits. Flavour is composed of meaty glaze, honey, butter malts, dried fruits, jammy fruits. Palate is medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Little blue cheese in the finish. Weird beer.

Bottle shared in Croydon. Cheers to BenH. It pours black with a thick tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, tangy, dried fruits, tangy, dried currants, rich fruits, earth, dirty, cocoa and coffee. The taste is smooth, tangy, rich fruits, Irn Bru (or did I imagine that), milk chocolate, ashy, earth, jammy fruits, light spice, touch of alcohol and eccles cake with a dry, fruity finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Weird, but good fun!

Bottle shared in East Croydon - many thanks to BenH via Scopey. Pours deep brown with a creamy, tan head. Interesting aroma, some cocoa, dark fruits, raisins. Light to medium sweet flavor, lightly smokey, with some roast, burnt marshmallows, scorched earth, grape. Medium bodied with a vague carbonation. Scattered finish, with more raisin, bittersweet cocoa, ashy roast. Interesting. Not bad.
