So dark brown it’s almost black, this ale had a creamy head and was very smooth on the palate. The flavour has hints of dark berries, coffee and chocolate, but these are too faint to be truly tasty.

Black, thin head. Stonking mild, one of the best of the day. Very full-bodied, rich and sweet. Enough hops to provide some interest too, but on the whole just a velvety mellow elixir.
