Absolute gem. Purchased from ’cheap shop’ - BM Stores Hamilton. £4.29 for 6. Unexpected source. Wonderful dark, dark opaque colour. Peaty, smoky. (reminded me of a dry Irish stout). Sweetiness and fruit came through, but wonderful dry finish. Ace..

On tap. Nice very dark amber colour with a medium head. Alcool is quite present but the overal taste is caramel and malt. Very drinkable beer, very less bitter.

From a 12 fl. oz. bottle. Pours an opaque dark mahogany-brown with a bit of beige head. Aroma of yeast, malts, and caramel. Decent mouth feel. Flavor is both sweet and bitter dark chocolate with a good mix of malts and yeast. Very flavorful actually and always one of my favorites.

Aroma is sugary with notes of dark fruit and alcohol. Pours a dark brown with a nice thick head, which lasts for about 2/3 of the length of time it takes to drink the beer. Tastes sweet, malty, and a little boozy with hints of bread, figs, chocolate, and a bit of coffee--the alcohol is not overwhelming. Hands down one of my favorites, if not my single favorite.

12oz bottle. Pours deep dark brown color with a creamy head. Roasted and slight coffee aroma. Very full bodied with a rich flavor and hints of scotch. Heavy but smooth.

dark brown with nice notes of caramel on the nose. A malty sweetness is heavy on the palate with some light cocoa and espresso on the long finish.

Dark brown beer with a thick head. Smells like chocolate and coffee. Flavor has hints of fruit with plenty of chocolate. Nice thick mouthfeel.

Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass. The color is dark brown with a light foamy white head. With no lacing. The smell is a bit caramel, with a small fruit flavor in the background. The taste is a bit sweet with a roasted malt feel and a nice brown sugar flavor. The feel of this beer is a nice and even. The beer is a strong but not too overwhelming is really drinkable.
