Pours a dark brown to ruby red, almost black. Big foamy head which dissipates slowly to a thin layer with some lacing.
The nose is malty.
Tastes of malt and dried fruit. Raisins perhaps.
Mouthfeel is good.
Nice beer.

500ml bottle, to be drank before the end of Jun 09, drank on the 16th, so two weeks life remained.

Bottle conditioned and to be drank at 13 degrees C. Poured into a UK pint glass, leaving the sediment in the bottle.

Lovely looking beer, deep ruby red, clear and bright, huge foaming head, light tan in colour.

Malts and un-sweet molasses hit the nose. Then the sweetness of the molasses come to the fore as the beer warms a little.

Malty, yeasty and interesting taste. Chocolate, dark chocolate anyway and liquorice flavours blend together nicely.

Not as rich as I'd expected, but OK, a little thin if I'm being honest.

Very pleasant beer from a fairly local brewery
