Black with huge, stable beige head. Chocolate aroma. Erathy, malty nose, but becomes more thin towards the finish, which has notes of coffee and licorice and is rather salty.

Sample cask conditioned. Flowery nose. Grapefruit aroma. Light- to medium bodied. Soapy hoppiness, sparkling mouthfeel. Dry, salty bitter finish. A nice drinkable cask bitter with an American touch.
The bottled version appears less flavourful, and lacks the freshness and sparkling mouthfeel of the cask version. This rating is for the cask version.
