Bottle split at the Tilt Tasting, Bingohame Convention VI, thanks to LKS 02/07/22. Black with a decent tan cap that dissipates to a swirl and edgeing. Nose is dark malts, spice, dried fruit rinds, dates, cocoa powder. Taste comprises dark malts, chocolate, mellow roast, light smoke, toffee, spice, fruit cake. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of alcohol. I thought this one had stood up well.

On tap at Made Inn Ashford . Deep hazy red mulberry colour. Lasting beige head. Some decent red ale qualities. I do get a bit of newspaper on the finish. Some red fruit on aroma. Hides abv well. Light bitterness. Some sweetness. Some strawberry jam . Still a touch of paper. Dry finish. It's almost very good. Lose the dry paper flavour and I'd like it
