5/9/2019. Cask at the 33rd Chappel Beer Festival. Pours dark brown with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, nut, toffee, biscuit and mild chilli. Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness with warming chilli developing. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Some drying to finish, chilli works pretty well though creates a little heartburn. Pretty good.
