Bottle. Real Ale Shop Branthill. Hazed copper gold. Nice messy swede. Tangy malt. Tangy hop. Good balance. Tasty easy drinking affair with a nudge of spice. Bet it’s ace on cask.

(Bottle) Pours black with tan head. Gentle pleasant aroma of dark roast grain and coffee. Medium body with good bright carbonation. Nice taste with good balance between dark roast notes and some tart and sweet notes. Coffee, dark chocolate. Very enjoyable and surprisingly refreshing for a stout.
