Poured a deep but not opaque black with ruby highlights. The head is a thin beige cap. The nose is mild with roastiness malt dark fruit and vanilla. The taste starts somewhat sweet like a chocolate covered raisin with underlying roastiness and a lingering finish of dark chocolate and earth.The alcohol really never rears its head very easy to drink albeit a bit mild compared to many other of the style.

Nov 29, 2009 [Bottle at the Good Food Show 2009, NEC, Birmingham] Deep brown-black with a slight creamy head. Cough mixture, coffee, treacle and smoke. Quite sweet, and gets a bit sticky - I was glad I shared the bottle as I would struggle to drink a lot of this. Not bad though.
