Reddish brown beer, clear round the edges, beige head. Light smell of coffee and fruit. Flavour is coffee and malt, somewhat bitter. There’s a bit of fruit buried in there as well but it’s mostly coffee. Pretty decent.

Cask at the Pump House, Solihull. Poured a crystal clear dark brown with a frothy light tan head and some clingy lace. The aroma is light malt, over ripe fruit. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light, slightly watery, smoky roast, burnt toffee palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

New at Liquor Shed.
It pours a very dark brown with some reddish highlights, about a 1" head of off white foam. Pretty good with the lacing.
It smells roast, with some dark chocolate, a bit of a fruity note or 2, and a hint of anise.
The taste follows the nose except the fruitiness isn’t as noticeable.
Smooth mouth feel thanks to the medium body and lightish carbonation. Last minute thought, I get a very very light smoke taste but perhaps I am wrong about that.
Super smooth and yet very tasty. I am impressed.
