Cask at Floodgate, Stafford Pours black with a small cream head. A simple nose of milk chocolate. In the mouth it has a creamy texture with tastes of dark fruits, chocolate and molasses. The finish is milky with coffee notes. I don’t normally like Kelham Island beers, but this is quite nice.

Cask @ Tap and Can. Pours dark, frothy off-white head. Coffee, woody roast on the nose. Continues to taste, bitter chocolate and coffee dominating with a dry bitter close. Decent.

22nd Nov 2018. Cask half-pint, hand-pulled at The Pheasant Inn, Wellington Shropshire. Ruby coloured brew, tanned foaming head. Coffee and chocolate led the way aroma wise, in the taste also. Semi-sweet, semi-dry. Nice Black Beast!

Black color with a beige layer. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Semi dry ending. Roast, toffee and some licorice in the flavor. Decent

Dark beige head soon left a cover on an oily looking, jet black, still body. Strong malt, caramel & coffee aroma. Medium bodied, very tingly on the palate. A bit thin & crisp on the back but clean. Dry. Malt, brown sugar & coffee to the fore followed by a bitter aft of berries, bitter coffee & slight hints of citrus.

On tap from Ritz JDW, Lincoln. Black colour with an off white head. Aroma has roasted malt and fruit taste the same. Nice drinkable stout.

By gravicask, minifest at Murderers in Norwich. A bubbly filmy layer to a jet black body. Toffee aroma, slightly smoked. Chocolate and toffee flavours, hints of liquorice. Mid-sweet malty ending. Pleasing (Shared with Cunningham, 18.02.2017).

Cask @ Murderers, Norwich. No head. Color is black. Aroma and taste are roast malt, caramel, licorice and hops. A little on the sweet side.
