[500ml bottle shared with Dad - cheers!] Deep brown, no head. Smells of coffee, cough mixture & vanilla. Coffee is dominant in the flavour too, with chocolate coming through again and a little woodiness. There’s a hint of sour plums in there, and some dusty bitterness, but really not enough to balance out the sweetness. It might make a good dessert beer, maybe to accompany chocolate pudding, but on its own it’s just a tad too sweet and sticky. Still an OK beer though.

Cask at the White Swan, Highbury, London on 3rd January 2010. Dark red with cream coloured semi-lacing foam head. Malty with some roasted malts and a little nutmeg spice. A hint of aniseed. Not overly sweet, and indeed a dry finish ensues on a fairly lively mouthfeel. Pleasant beer. Re-rating 2015. Cask at the Old Eagle, Camden Town on 7th December 2015. Sepia with pale brown head and scant lacing. Sweet roast malt aroma. Full on roasted sweet malts in-mouth with burnt toffee flavours. A nutty, malty finish. Rather light in mouthfeel and body.
