Pint at the Royal Oak, SE1.Black body, like a stout. A small, loose yellow-cream head. Smells like tar, charcoal and liquorice. More of that in the flavour with some caramel sweetness. Slightly nutty in the finish. Amazingly light bodied for such a dark, complex beer. I was suprised by how much I liked this beer.

Dark brown.
Metallic, somewhat artificial aroma.
Some chocolate in the flavour with a very dry bitterness.

Hoppy aroma, certainly some Burton snatch to it (Thanks, Silk, for the nose pointers!). Beef fat taste. Lovely soft palate, both savoury but with a nice tingle. Burnt flesh. Very wacky, but rather tasty.
