275ml bottle from Shropshire. Vintage 1994. Bottle opened with a hiss and poured with a small head and very dark brown/red appearance - almost black. Aroma of cardboard, dried dog poo and stale chocolate. Slight carbonation in the body. Clean tasting with dark chocolate notes, caramel, faint cardboard. Very pleasant and easy drinking. The slight carbonation makes this tastes quite fresh, and the flavours are very attractive, with the chocolate dominating. Faint sweetness. A very nice beer.
