Bottle that I think that I picked up at The Real Ale Shop, Wells-next-the Sea, June 09 consumed 23-07-09 Pours copper in colour. The aroma is malty and milk chocolate. Soft in the mouth the milk chocolate comes through again, some bitterness, this is quite rich full bodied beer, good stuff. A7 A4 F7 P3 Ov14 3.5

Cask at Reading beerfest. A black beer with nice brown head. Quite malty, fruity, chocolatey and a hint of smoke, coffee detected too. Surprisingly easy to drink at 6%. A nice stout which I’d like to have again.
