Sample from tap at the brewery. Pours dark brown to black with a brown head. Aroma is roasted malt. Flavour is dominated by roasted malts but has some hoppiness sticking out. Bitter finish, but clearly more mild than the coffee version.

From cask. Pours hazy orange with no head. Aroma is distinctly grapefruit. No carbonation. Fruity flavour, grapefruit. Reminds me most of a grapefruit juice than a beer. Finish has some peach notes and a mild bitterness as well. Had this gone bad? I don’t think it was meant to taste so dull.6-2-6-3-11=2.8
