Ian		23 Mar 2007	Black colour with very dark brown edges. Smokey charcoal and intense roasted malts. Has some old ale style sourness to it. Bit of tar. Finish has very dark bitter choc. In fact unbelievably bitter. Smokey, bitter, really quite harsh. Asked to take the sparkler off before pouring. Very popular beer in the pub, but for me, just a tad too intense and dark and bitter. Really quite aggressive. Real good sipper though. Took 40 mins to drink a half pint.
