Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 14th January 2026. Deep inky sepia black with a pale tan foam and full lacing. Velvety roastiness in aroma. Coffee, bitter chocolate, aniseed and candied fruits in-mouth and a roasty malt finish that grows bitter. Aniseed line persists. Emgaging mouthfeel and a fair amount of body. Interesting and enjoyable.

Cask at Old Bell, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with minimal tan head and good lacing. There’s roasted malts and nuts in the aroma, plus some traces of plums. In the mouth it is smooth and creamy with a slight sweetness on balance. Flavours are roasted malts and dark fruits at the start but chocolate comes in quite strongly after a while. Some hints of nuts as well. Fruitiness is enhanced in the finish. This is quite nice – though Red seems an odd choice of name for a stout.
