500ml bottle from Ship in a Bottle. Near-black coloured body. Fawn-coloured head reduced to a patchy surface. Fragile lacing to the glass. Roasted, almost burnt, dark malty nose, hints of dark chocolate. The taste profile contains roasted malts, anise and ash (moss bog, perhaps) followed by a bitter ending of dark fruits. Quite well bodied. Pleasing stout (relaxing at my hotel room in Liverpool, 08.04.2013).

Taste comprises summer fruits, grass, a little hop presence. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, some bitterness in a dryish finish. Ok.

Dark ruby ale, nice red glow and aroma of warm winter fruits, more crisp in its taste rather than flavoursome.
