Bottle shared at the Chris & Ruth pre GBBF shindig tasting 2016 - London. Cheers! Pours deep brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose holds milk chocolate, light roast. Medium sweet flavour with notes of ash, tobacco, dried berries. Light to medium bodied with lively carbonation. Sweet finish with more ashy roast, some char, burnt tobacco. Good stuff.

500ml bottle at Ale House, Chelmsford, kindly shared by Cunningham. Filmy layer leaving spotty lacing down the glass. Coal black in body colour. Mid-sweet oaky nose, some impact of chocolate. Oak up front to the flavour profile joined by chocolate and caramel nose. Nicely roasted finish. Medium bodied. Likable, just a bit too much oak. (17.02.2017).

Chelmsford Winter Beer Fest @ KEGS. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, small bubbly white head. Light smooth palate, decent fine carbonation. Clean malts. Nice fresh orange hop with some orange peel and a little tangerine. Some spicy hop before a smooth finish. Smooth, clean, hoppy and drinkable. Not sure what my Scandanivian bros were drinking!

Chelmsford Winter Beer Fest @ KEGS. Cask. Almost opaque dark brown beer, a few pale tan bubbles. Palate is smooth and has modest fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, trace of dark fruits. Bitterish dark toffee. Some spice. Smooth finish. Rich and tasty but a third was enough.
