By gravicask, 4.5 % abv, at Chelmsford & Mid Essex Winter Beer Festival. Shared with Cunningham. Coal black body. Shiny black surface. Malt-accented aroma, mid-sweet. Honeyed malty flavours joined by impact of ripe fruits. Mid-sweet, mild roasted finish. Likable, just rather thin bodied (17.02.2017).
