50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep amber to hazzlenut brown with a lacing off-white head. Mild spiced and solid roasted malty aroma. Dark breadish roasted flavour yet with a distinct sweetness and toasted caramelish note. Dark and roasted into the finish with a declining sweetness. Malty sweet finish. Nice one.

Dark ruby colour. Some coffee and biscuit in the nose, a bit like being on the 192 past McVities in Levenshulme. Our chops will know what I’m on about. Fine stuff, get in there ingerlund.
