More lagery flavour than this brewer’s other beers together with a nice, gentle roast. Dry and slightly sherry-like. Medium body with low carbonation and a lasting black malt bitterness.

On tap at the brewpub: Literally black, smaller off-white head with a good lace; distinctive dry coffeeeish to roast-malty nose; light bodied, sweetish roasty flavour; lingering coffeeish-bitter finish with traces of liquorice. Good, good, good........
