Supplier: Kris Wines
The Kernel is one of my favourite breweries in the UK, with great design, ethos, and most importantly beer. This is one of the Kernel Breweries year-round recipes based a recipe from a London Brewery in 1890; as the Kernel Brewery is based in London this is fitting. I served this at room temperature.

Appearance: An impenetrable black with a thin brown head that dissipates quickly.
Aroma: Toast and really dark chocolate on the nose, hints of nut that make it sort of a rich Nutella smell.
Flavour: A slightly slow start but then you get loads of burnt toast and chocolate on the back. The is a hint of something juicy, but none of that nut flavour you get in the nose.
Body: Super thick but it becomes a bit too dry on the aftertaste.
Aftertaste: The roasted notes continue through along with the dark chocolate. Hints of some hoppy bitterness as well.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 9, and a solid 9 at that.
Price Range: £2.99 per 330ml bottle, Bargain with a capital B!
Food Pairings: Like the Bedow Autumn Porter this is such a rich drink that it is well suited to be by itself. Because of the chocolate I would say that this would go best with a gooey chocolate brownie, even though the flavours are very similar.
