Martin the Mildman		06 Jan 2011	Dark brown, almost black in colour. Superb smooth dark chocolate malt flavour starts things off, then the pineappley Sorachi hops move from providing the aroma to providing a background to the malt action. Probably the only beer I have sampled where Sorachi hops don't spoil the flavour of a beer (in my opinion of course). A takeaway sample that I drunk 2 days later had even more malt flavour with a little smokiness emerging and the Sorachi fading slightly. My score 15 intially, rising to 16/20.
