Cask at Egham Beer Fest Autumn 24. Aroma is smokey but not overly so. Tangy. Opaque darkest brown. Thick foamy beige head. Bitter throughout. Over a dark chocolate core. Slightly creamy. Hoppy. Spicy. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Punchy stuff.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - mat to jet black. Foamy beige head. Nose - bonfired wood and chocolate. Brown bread. Taste - burnt wood, sweet chocolate brownie, some rye spice and some toffee linger. Palate - medium bodied and lightly spicy with rich finish but dried nicely with the smoke. Overall - good gear.
