Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. I’d been hoping to come across this one - looking every inch a perfect stout - a deep oily borwn colour with a loose tan head; chocolately malt aroma; smooth and silky with deeply roasted malt flavours with a touch of chocolate and smoke then becoming more fruity towards the end. More please.

Hamilton Hall Spoons. Opaque black beer, good dark tan head. Dry palate. Roasty malt, not too burned. Trace of coffee, a little minerals. Whsiper of red fruits underneath. Dry bitterish finish. Ok.

Cask at Victoria station W’Spoons. A black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Roasty, malty aroma. Tastes roasty, malty, dark fruit, roasted coffee, slight bitterness, rich and complex. Really good stout.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Pours a rich, opaque brown-black with a dense, beige head. Pungent roasted malt aroma with note of cocoa bean, coffee grounds, chocolate syrup and tar. Oh damn, great flavor, light to medium sweet, peaty, dark and roasty, baking cocoa, roasted coffee beans, tobacco and ash. Medium to full in body with fine carbonation and an ultra smooth mouthfeel. Finishes rich and roasty, like chocolate brownies with more coffee, moss, scorched earth, modest bitterness, some sugars, cigar ashes. Fantastic. Well done, Spoons.

Cask handpull at Spoons Victoria Station. Been looking for this since I arrived on Ratebeer. Black with thin lasting tan head. Rather a decent aroma. Then huge hit of choc and burnt malt in mouth. A bit like overdone Xmas cake. Big thick and got some excellent burnt dark fruit flavours. Its good. Not amazing but definitely good. Some dryness on finish. Very tasty stout.

A black beer. Aroma has a surprising smokiness. Thick on the palate. Light hops, roasted malt and some bread and grain.

Bottle. Jet black with slight tan head. Aroma of coffee, milk chocolate and black fruits. Smooth mouth feel with flavours of roasted malt, dark chocolate and herbal hops. A very long dry, roasted finish. One of the great British stouts.

Bottled A very dark beer that has plenty of roasted aroma’s. This is not one of my favourite beers and in fairness I have tried it on a number of occasions now and always feel a bit dissapointed. I find it far to bitter with too much in the way of roasted coffee notes also a bit thin and too dry. I can see why others like this as it is very interesting, its just not my thing at all.

A very opaque head on top of a pitch black brew. Huge roasted mallt nose with charcol and ink (yuk too much for me). Starts off very roasted, then some ink and almost acidic mouthfeel and very faint milk chocolate and a dry roasted finish.
