Cask at the Greyfriar, Reading. An opaque black pour with an attractive plummy purple gloss and a thin cream head; the aroma has some bitter chocolate and toasted grain; in the mouth it's smooth and silky with a milk chocolate taste; then the finish is dry and warming and gives lingering drinking chocolate. Rather good.

Cask at The Volley. It pours deep brown - black with a small beige head. The aroma is earthy, cocoa, liquorice, roasted malt, earthy, dull smoke and dark fruits. The taste is dry, bitter, roasted malt, peppery spice, dark fruits, some smoke, umami, tar and cacao nibs with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Fair enough.

(2017 London) 1/2 Pint Cask @ Lyric. Black, mocha head. Nose is thin cacao, roast, mocha, surprisingly umami. Taste is too umami for my licking but surprisingly intense, soy sauce, strong roast, herbal,… Soft carbonation, cask soy sauce, umami body. Not my thing but surprisingly heavy, respectable.
