Cask at GBBF. It pours dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet, oily, chocolate, rocky road, toasty, earthy roast and damp wood. The taste is slick, sweet, sticky, chocolate cake, earthy roast, toasty grain, toffee crisp and light spice with a drying finish.. Medium body, fine carbonation and oily mouth feel. Decent chocolate vibes.

Bottle, gift that Maureen & Dave bought me from the Heath Robinson museum - cheers! The beer's a hazy reddish-amber colour with a white head and a light fizz. Tastes fruity -marmalade and red berries - with light malts and a little pepper. The alcohol shows through - there's a distinct boozy note - but the body is rather watery. The flavour's ok, but the beer feels unfinished; maybe it needs conditioning a little longer? I have another bottle so I might leave it for a few months and see if it improves with age.
