Cask at B&K, Islington on 25th October 2014. Ink-black with pale tan shallow foam and scant lacing. Roasty aroma with spices and maltiness. Sweet, roast malts in-mouth with tangy grape and citrus. A bitter late finish with sweet background. Solid body for strength, but light mouthfeel affording easy drinking.

Cask at the Brewpub. Clear deep amber - brown beer, small pale tan - cream head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Decent superfine carbonation. Fresh malts, little dark chocolate, traces of roast and coffee. Nice berry fruits and crystallised orange in the mid. Turns to light floralness and mild bitterness on the back end. Smooth semi dry finish. Modest bitter linger. Nicely joined up tasty brown. Good job.

Cask at the brewpub - London. Pours dark brown with a foamy beie head. The nose has lots of milk chocolate, general dark malt charagyer, soft roast. Medium sweet flavor with sugary darkened toast, further milk chocolate, lacto sugars, very slight ashy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more milk chocolate, some burnt wood, dark berries, cocoa, toasted sugars. Simplistic sure, but not bad overall and quite drinkable.
