Black with thin head. Dry aroma with some roast malt. Flavour has plenty of roasted malts but also a sweet and fruity tang from the blackcurrant.

Keighley Beer Festival 2014. Very dark brown with a thin off-white head. There’s some fruit sweetness here but its lingering roasted malts are more than dominant in all its characteristics.
