Opaque black beer with a creamy beige head. Very light malt aroma. Flavour is light and chocolatey with a bitter, toasted malt finish following it up. Body is a touch watery but other than wishing there was a bit more kick to the smell I can?t find much to fault. Very drinkable.

Cask (backlog). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is citrus, wood, some grass and mild toffeeish notes. Flavour is similar, but also has some sulphur and earthy notes to it. Not all too pleasant as for the flavour.

Cask @ Belfast Beer Festival [141114]
Dark caramel brown, tan beige head, good lacing
Aroma of fairly burnt roasted malts, soft earthy roast
Taste of roasted malts, some dark sweet malt underneath, soft coffee grounds, touch of savoury yeast, good flavour for abv
Palate - Medium light body, good palate. Finish of toasty bread, quite bitter roast
Overall - Usually like less roast in a mild but this was decent
