Nitro draft sample @ Signature taproom.
Brune cuivre sans être trop foncée, col fin crémeux café au lait.
Arôme est finement malté, cara pâle, petite note de grillé et pils, léger en rétro-nasal sur les effets houblonnés.
Palais est de prime abord soyeux avec une belle rondeur de bouche renforcé par k'apport du 'nitro'. Amertume délicate anglaise, finement floral et terreuse, petite note rappelant un effet fumé. Léger sur le caramel, avec un fini sur les fruits rouges et secs dont la figue.

Shared by rlgk@SBWF2014, thanks! Black colour, small beige head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is liquorice, some cocoa, chocolate and mild tar and smoked wet wooden elements. Flavour is roasted malts, some chocolate, liquorice and mild grassy and hayish bitterness to it. Nicely bitter stout.

On tap at Signature Brewery Blackhorse Road. Black beer lasting tan head. Decent nitro stout. Good chocolate flavour. Yep nice enough. Some depth some character. Decent.

Keg tap at the Union Tavern, Westbourne Park. Black with a small tan head. Milk chocolate and liquorice candy aroma. Sweet taste with an herbal note. Unbalanced bitter finish. Drinkable but not one of those beers that delivers on the promises made.

Navigation Tavern Spring Beer Festival 2016. Extremely dark with a creamy off-white head. It’s a floral heavy stout in character, but there are roasted malts evident in both aroma and taste.

Well & Bucket. Keg. Almost opaque black - brown beer, tidy pale tan head. Palate is smooth with decent fine carbonation. Thin dark malts, a tang that borders on sour. Trace of roast bitterness. Crisp finish. Just another stout and an overly tangy one.
