Lots of blackcurrants but condition is not good. Fruity. Reminds me of a weaker Fuller's ESB.

Bottle shared at The Kernel during Tommy’s birthday bottle share. Big thanks to the birthday boy himself for this treat! Pours deep brown with a frothy, beige head. The aroma holds cocoa, coffee, moderate roast, light burnt rubber. Medium sweet flavour with ample scorched earth, light ash, rubber, charred wood, cocoa. Medium bodied with fine carbonation Moderate sweet on the finish with some burnt caramel, chocolate and earthy bitterness. Quite tasty, drinks rather well. Could do with a bit more depth and intensity of flavour, though. Overall, solid.
