Bottle from Corks of Cotham, Bristol. Jet black and opaque with a short-lived, off-white head. Aroma of prunes, porridge oats and dark chocolate with a slightly roasty edge. Flavour had plenty more chocolate, coffee and a dryish finish with a lactic edge. Good.

Aroma: Weak floral aroma.
Appearance: Clear amber body with a tiny white head that soon fades to nothing. Very light carbonation. No lacing.
Taste: Simple grain, citrus and earthy flavours. Mild bitterness.
Palate: Thin to medium body with a slightly oily mouthfeel. Nice carbonation fizz.
Overall: Quite bland but perfectly drinkable. I wouldn’t buy this again - it’s just ok.

On gravity at Swindon Beer Festival, 25/10/2012. Deep copper with no head. Sweet fruits and caramel, a hint of citrus hop and a whiff of bonfire smoke, before a gentle finish. A good autumn beer.
