(Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 23 Nov 2024) Black colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted, slightly fruity nose with notes of chocolate, milky coffee and dark rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, dark bread, hints of raspberries and a mild cacao bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. A slight acidity in the background, but rich and mellow. Nice one.
