4/10/2019. Cask at the 42nd Bedford Beer & Cider Festival. Pours black with a lasting beige head. Aroma of dark roasted malts, coffee, charcoal, bitter burnt chocolate, nut, burnt toffee and dark fruits. Light to moderate sweetness hidden by a powerful roasted bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Increasing sweetness to finish. Packs a punch but difficult to enjoy.
