Tap at Draught 55 this keg has been on a while and about time I got round to help kick. Reddish Orange pour thin head. Nose of caramel and tropical fruit. Tastes of caramel, honey, cough syrup, biscuits, kiwi, dragon fruit, and toasted malt. Some peppery notes on finish. Clean slick palate. Slight alcohol burn.

Bottle, 12oz. A very dark brown beer, almost clear it seems, and with a small beige head on top. The aorma is quite coffee-dominated, but there’s also a good dash of cocoa powder. Some roasted malts and coffee-grit hints too. It’s medium bodied, semi-sweet and softly carbonated, with roasted malts, cocoa, coffee and some dark chocolate. Lasting roasted finish. A bit harsh this one, too much coffee grit, but it’s far from bad. 150619
