Pours amber into an English pint. Fluffy off-white conglomerate head with excellent retention. Immediate clove and ginger aromas during the pour. Full and slightly chemical. Some dried fruit, clove and coriander. Dry herbal finish.

Bottle from Beer Geek. Pours very dark brown with a multifinger beige head. Aroma is rather cola, with chocolate and coffee. Medium plus body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is primarily chocolate, backed by toasted malt and coffee. Suggestions of darker fruits. Finish is fairly dry, and there is a dried dark fruit aspect - but not sweet - just fruit. Mouthsmackingly tasty. Bitter in the finish, but from hop or toast?

(Cask at St. Urho’s on 2008-07-18) Amber and clear. Quite long-lasting medium-sized bubbly white head. Medium to full palate with little carbonation. Roasted malts, bread and bitterness in taste. Quite strong-bodied for a real ale which is good.
