Bottle at home ... dark brown with a light off white head ... Earthy as fin says, some roast sweet malts in nose ... nice mouth feel ... lot of chocolate and sweet malts ... little smokey ... lots of toffee ... I dont recognise most other people desciption of this beer so ive got to assume its an incosistant beer ... however the one i have is lovely , well balanced and packed full of flavour ...

<i> <b> Bottle from the Dodgi’ Deli’ Cowley Road, Oxford </i> </b> Pours dark brown with foamy off white head. Aroma bit earthy but also some chocolate (noticed by Loz), taste is slightly sour and if truth be told its ok but very much in the homebrew league, bit caramelly, bit malty bit unimpressive really.
