Keg at Craft Islington. It pours darkest brown near black with a decent tan head. The aroma is rich roast, dark chocolate, treacle, eccles cake, plum pudding, fig and earth. The taste is rich, slick, charred wood, earth, alcohol warmth, decent roast, liquorice, fruit cake, decent hit of acidity, umami and malt loaf with a smooth, boosty finish. Full body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. Plenty of flavour, but very boosty and a touch acidic. Ok.
