Cask (Fitzgeralds, Sunderland) - Black in colour. Coffee, roasted malt and a hint of treacle in the aroma. Roasted taste with notes of coffee and chocolate dominating. Quite smooth and easy to drink.

Cask at Craft Islington. It pours deep brown with a small beige head. The nose is roasted malt, toast, earth, dried fruits, cocoa and coffee. The taste is roasted malt, toast, earth, chocolate and milky coffee with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Not exactly much depth, but a solid enough brew anyhow.

From Cask @ Cask Pub & Kitchen as "Glastonbury Thriller Rare Cappuccino". It's really hard to call this anything else than black in the glass. It even has a small spotting beige filmy head. Smells really nice. Roasted with dark chocolate and cardboard-cold-coffee. Soft nitro like in the mouth. Nice flavors. Gentle chocolate and a little bit of dry licorice. I get cardboard on the taste also, but quite subdued. Really gliding and easy to drink/like. 09.11.2013
