Bottle. Came in a clear bottle and poured with a small head. Quite malty and left no lacing.Slightly bitter and quite pleasant. Bought with a few others from this brewery at the Co -operative in lovely Whitby, Yorkshire.

Chocolate brown with a light had that ticks over for quite a while. Old dusty raisin aroma. It tastes of cardboard, dark and smelly. Thin and weak and poor overall.
