Cask (gravity dispense) at Egham United Services Club Beer Festival on 19 August 2010. Pretty dark in colour. Dry and somewhat stout-like and character and mouthfeel. Creamy coffee aroma. Roasty with some licorice and plenty of chocolate on the palate. Quite rich and full in the mouth. Very tasty. My first beer from this embryonic brewery and a most impressive debut.
