Actually, this went on tap a little over 2 weeks ago, and was finished this Saturday.


Color: Dark brown, slightly reddish and crystal clear when held to the light. Light tan head dissipates rapidly, but holds on throughout. Some lacing noted.

Aroma: A hint of the earthy Fuggle melds well with the malty aromas. The Chocolate and Special B stand out.

Flavor: Very clean for the style with malt flavor finishing strong. Esters undetectable under malt. Flavor fades to a very clean finish. No aftertaste.

Carbonation: Light, as dictated by style. A nice tingle on the tongue.
