Bottle at Colin’s. It pours darkest brown with a small beige head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, cocoa, plain chocolate, dark fruits and dried cherry/cranberry. The taste is dry, rich roasted malt, toasty, earthy, liquorice, pine needles, Eccles cake and some spice with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Sort of ok. Not great for the style though.
