Pours a very dark brown almost black colour with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, caramel, some chocolate, nuts, liquorice and brown sugar. Taste has all the same notes detected in the aroma, dry dark fruit, caramel, chocolate, liquorice and brown sugar. Quite sweet and syrupy. Fullish body with a fairly smooth oily mouthfeel. A rather rich but also sweet beer at the same time. Not one of my favourites if I’m honest but i appreciate it’s quality.
