Cask. Very dark amber. Dense head.
Light hoppy aroma. Roasted malt.
Hops again and a burnt toast bitterness.
Decent cask conditioned feel.
A black bitter that misses the mark.

36th CAMRA Cotswold beer festival (July 2012) in the lovely 15th century Tithe Barn: the setting for my tasting of this beer.

Gravity poured half-pint: almost black in colour with an off-white head which started and finished rather thin.

The smell was roasted/toasted malts with hints of a hop content if you sniffed hard enough.

The taste was a blend of hoppiness and maltiness, each vying for domination: the hops just about winning, although your eyes try to tell you it is maltier because of its colouring.
