Warning! Early amateur rating! Dark beer. Initally a light touch of dark malts but then richer, chocolatey and with a minerally saltiness. Not bad.

Warning! Early amateur rating! On tap at the Sun Inn - Kelvedon. Quite a bit of toasted malt although the palate is not thick. Hard work to start with but got better when I got used to the level of toasted malt.

4th November 2008. Very dark brown beer. Smooth but thinnish stout. Tangy start with a light smoky streak. Unusually a little coca cola before the semi dry finish.

1st November 2008. Hazy gold beer, pours a little syrupy. Smooth and creamy with just a little subtle citrus. Not hoppy at all. Very smooth indeed!
