Cask at Craft, 21st March 2013. Bit too much on the chocolate for me, some coffee and some smoke. I prefer smokeless

Bottle at home with in London with Chris and Lyoli. Pours deep, red-brown with a fine, frothy tan head. Aroma holds dry coffee, some tangy earth, bitter chocolate. Light sweet flavor, charred malts, hints of tangy dark fruits, bitter roast. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Further tangy dark malts in the finish, scorched earth, bittersweet cocoa. Yeah, a touch too tangy. So so.
