Black with copper tones. fabulous head retention. Toffee malts on the nose. Light but sweet. Dryish, dark malt palate, if a bit thin & 1 dimensional.

Bottled. Very dark brown, small beige head. Earthy and intensely chocolatey. Soft with light to medium body and notes of plastic. Fairly low hop rate, and the bitterness is rather low. MIlk chocolate finish.

Tasted 17/09/2005. Full English pints at the house bar, Accents on the Park, after visiting the brewery the day before. Near black, deep ruby, with a thin, creamy, light tan head. Nice full dark chocolate nose. Good smooth mouthfeel, not too heavy, with a good dose of chocolate malt and a dry roasted barley finish. Lovely little, easy drinking, drop from an interesting brewery. Tried before, in the bottle, and it hasn’t been anywhere near as good.
