Cask at Holloway Wetherspoons. Thick black with big bubbly beige head. Aroma is unsurprisingly mainly toffee and treacle. Also slight burnt coffee/spicy smell. Taste is malty, caramel, biscuit. Delicious but pretty sweet! Quite thick and oily in the mouth. No real bitterness. Reminded me a bit of ice cream, or a frothy coffee. Not sure if this should be a good thing, but I quite liked it.

On cask @ the Stockbridge Tap. General impression is that this was a stout with a lovely treacle aroma. The taste was a bit short in the mouth but it is very low in alcohol, so overall quite impressed.

Full flavoured treacle toffee ale, so much so it is like eating the very sweets it copies.

Liberty Bounds Spoons. Clear deep red - brown beer. Tidy tan head. Smooth semi dry palate. Moderate carbonation. Good toffee and indeed, treacle. Medium sweet. Dark chocolate underneath. Sublte red fruits. Quite well joined up, finishes smooth. Decent.

Cask-condtioned at Penderal’s Oak (JDW), Holborn October 2011. Near black with a slight, off-white head. Sweet, powdered milk chocolate, camp coffee and truffles., with a vaguely bitter finish. Too sweet for me.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading] Chestnut-black with a large tan head and a slight fizz. Chocolate, caramel and vanilla throughout. Maybe a hint of liquorice too. A little roastiness prevents it from being too sweet and sticky. A decent pudding beer, but I don’t think you’d want to drink pints of the stuff! Nevertheless, I rather enjoyed it.

Cask at the Cornfield Garage (JDW), Eastbourne. Not sure I got the right beer here - it’s certainly a stout, but hte dominating flavour is vanilla rather than treacle. Anyway ... it’s a dark reddish chestnut with a tan head; vanilla aroma; dry vanilla flavour with perhaps a trace of weak treacle; the finish is rather thin and watery. I’m very disappointed overall, it certainly doesn’t do what it says on the pumpclip. Perhaps I’ll give it another chance somewhere else.

Jet black colour. Thin creamy head. Aroma is intensely of treacle toffee! Flavour is sweet treacle toffee then burnt, bitter cocoa and coffee. Nice but the intense nature stops it from being a sessionable beer.

Cask at Willow Walk, London Victoria. It pours darkest brown, with ruby highlights and a thin beige film. The nose is sweet toffee, butterscotch, treacle and brown sugar. The taste is more subdued than the smell: toffee, caramel, treacle, brown bread, burnt sugar, roasted malt and cardboard, with a dry finish. Thin to medium body and soft carbonation. Too thin and a bit one dimensional.
