Smells slightly funky, with aromas of nuts, toasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Palate is soft and almost creamy. Tastes almost creamy, too, as well as chocolatey, nutty, and with an ending of some bitter coffee. BeerGestapo (729), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 9, 2009 Brewed in England.... Pours a hazy brown color with a foamy beige head and nice carbonation. Aroma of roasted malts and brown sugar. Taste is much of the same with the addition of some chocolate. Mouthfeel is kind of sticky, thin and finishes on the dry side. Pretty interesting !!!! DigitalMan (113), Idaho, USA Oct 2, 2009 Decent sweet aroma, dark with small medium dark head. Flavor is weak but not bad in any way. Watery mouthfeel, though. Tejas (693), Dallas, Texas, USA Sep 19, 2009 OK but not great. Weak thin palate. Sorta roasty and caramel flavors. Easy drinker. The story is the best thing about this beer.
