A dark cola brown coloured beer with a weak, off-white head. A mild roasted malt nose. Light coffee and liquorice notes and a milk chocolate aroma that makes a pleasant surprise. Light bitterness and medium bodied. Dry, roasted malt, coffee and lquorice, and a chocolatey element as well. A bitter and malty finish. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds Summer Beer Festival 2007, Heacham, Norfolk).

Bottle @ Chris_o. Pours a dark reddish almost black color with a small off-white head. Roasted malty yeasty aroma with some hints of chocolate. Smooth roasted malty flavor with some bitterness. Roasted malty bitter finish with some hints of chocolate in the aftertaste.

A Mes rate: 50cl bottle at the Magic_dave6 shindig at Chris O’s.
Black red with a tan head. Slightly sulphuric and earthy on the nose with some barely detectable malt. Flavour is similar, dull and malty with some delicate toffee notes. Nothing much else going on. Another bland offering from Mersea Island.
