Bottled. A unclear amber beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of caramel, malt, and yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, wet hay, and fruits, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

Bottle at home from London bridge odd bins. Mahogony brown colour with a light tan / cream head. Aroma is earthy, touch of brown malt and roast, slight parfummed. Delicate. Flavour has more earthiness, mushroom, honey malt and vanilla. Quite unique beer. I like it.

Cask @ Station. Forgot I'd tried this years earlier in bottle. Pours very dark brown, cream topping. Aroma has soft vanilla, chocolate, wood. Taste is smooth with interesting subtle treacle, wood, cigar, dark chocolate notes. Very good dark mild. 500ml bottle from Borough Wines. Dark, musky chocolate fudge liqueur aroma, pours a black coffee colour with white swirls & a small cluster of bubbles in the centre that slowly pop one by one to form what look like petals. Crazy. Very mild vanilla sweetness to this, with roasted malts and cigar. As much as this isn’t my cup of tea I couldn’t help admire the blend.

500ml bottle. Quasi black colour with late awakening, small, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Slightly weak dark malty aroma has hints of roast, burnt coffee, black chocolate, a cautious salty touch of liquorice and soy sauce. Taste is dry dark malty, roasty, salty hints of liquorice and soy sauce, burnt coffee; long lasting finish, smooth, silky palate.
