Cask during Craft 100 at Craft Beer Co. Clapham - London. Pours deep brown with a foamy, off-white head. Solid stuff, with lots of baking cocoa, general chocolate, slight roast, moderate torched wood. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with light bitter burnt wood, more bittersweet baking cocoa. Has good depth and is very drinkable.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Pours dark brown, thin tan head. Aromas of earthiness, touch of wet cardboard, coffee, light smoke. Taste brought the ’off’ flavours out a bit too much for me. Not a fan.

Gravity dispense at Craft 100, Craft Clapham, 03/04/14. Light black with a thin tan covering that clears to the edge. Nose carries a smoked whisky tang, light roast, charred notes, toffee, rum & raisen fudge. Taste comprises tangy dark berry fruits, subtle whisky BA, light spice, toffee, touch of roast malt. Medium bodied, pretty flat and lakcing condition, drying close laced with subtle smokey whisky pangs. Decent enough but lacked condition, gravity dispense let down!

Craft Islington. Cask. Clear deep red - amber beer, small tan head. Palate is a chewy mix of dry and almost no carbonation. Mellow dark malts with light touches of earthy roast and coffee. Mild tangy dark fruits get stronger through the flavour profile and save this beer. Traces of candy sweetness and apple before a smooth dry finish. Tasty but flat and dry and the barrelling is barely noticeable. Still all right though!
