Cask at the Windlesora, Tourist Town, 30/10/15. Extremely dark mahogany brown with a well appointed tan head. Nose is light chocolate, spice, trace of wood must, toffee. Taste comprises earthy notes, slightly fusty, dark fruit rinds, herbal rinse, dark malt, background charr, trace of peppermint. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close. Ok if a touch overly earthy and carrying a herbal linger.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Dark mahogany, almost black, with a thin cream head; aroma of well roasted malts; rather thin with some bitter chocolate and coffee flavours; and a dry finish. A reasonable stout.

Penderel’s Oak Spoons. Cask. Clear dark red - deep amber beer, a few white bubbles. Smooth palate, very mild carbonation. Smooth malts with a tangy caramel and a mildly sweet lactose - cream. Trace of coffee and dark chocolate. Smooth finish brings a little toffee. Tasty enough.

Håndpumpet halfnpint på The Mossy Well (Muswell Hill), sammen med Steven: mørk, rødlig mahogny med fint skum hele veien. Myk og fruktig, med kaffe og sjokolade, og med en fin tørrhet i avslutningen. En god, lett og lettdrikkelig stout.

Cask @ Paramount, Manchester. Very dark, but not quite black, with a creamy off-white head. Feels a little thin and has some porter characteristics for it. Washy and soapy in its texture, there’s a very light roasted malt behind this, also with a floralness.

Hand-pulled half-pint as a cask ale night-cap on 1st Oct 2015 at the Crown Inn Oakengates Shropshire. Expected a bit more body and depth of flavour than I got. Black bodied brew with a tanned topping. Mild coffee and chocolate notes in both the nose and taste but lacked strength or character, slight smoky undertones, but again only a hint rather than a full blown, brave plunge into an exciting experiment or boundary pushing style.
