English Maris Otter malted barley, dark malts and a medley of English and American hops produce aromas of dark chocolate, treacle sweet flavours, roasted bitterness, a surprising fruitiness and a long dry finish.

330ml bottle from Hawkshead Beer Hall - Deep black body with a browny hue, tan head. Nose is treacle, coffee, liquorice, and burnt toast. Taste is a little harsh, sharp and butter with the burnt features in the background. I was hoping for a little better, but there was something a little too raw about this one.

Keg at the Tap House, Lancaster. Dark brown with a tempting light brown head. Heavy lacing for a keg beer. Liquorice and coffee on the nose. Hints of vinegar and forest fruits. The taste is an improvement, bittersweet with a gentle bitterness buoying the flavour to the back of the throat. Bitter finish. Palette is thin for a strong beer, but the gum-numbing carbonation makes up for that. A decent beer, but is it wrong for me to expect more from a beer of this strength?

Keg at the Tap House, Lancaster, 01/03/15. Black with a decent tan covering. Nose is spice, chocolate fudge, tar, dark fruit notes, light hop notes in the background. Taste comprises dark chocolate, spice, bitter fruit peel, hint woody, roast malt. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Solid enough impy, no game changer but good balance and fairly easy drinker.

On tap, at What’s Brewing. Some curtains occur as the dense, finger-thick light tan to beige head slides down the sides of the glass. Brown, unclear body. The aroma is roasted and chocolatey, with a barreled sourness, some dark dried fruits and citrus peel. Vinous notes. It’s full-bodied, warming and dry on the palate, pleasantly carbonated. Vinous flavor with roasted malts, chocolate, dried fruits and a touch of citrus peel. Quite nice this one, but there’s too many things going on at the same time. Sure lacking balance. 141031

Cask at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours black-brown with a frothy, khaki head. The nose has bit of iodine, burnt wood, dark cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with torched barrel, dried dark fruits, scorched earth, baking cocoa. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more dark, bittersweet chocolate, burnt earth and wood bitterness, a bit of chewy leather, dried fruits, ash. Pretty decent stuff.

Cask handpull at The Craft Clerkenwell. Black beer lasting tan head. Hoppy dark chocolate impy stout. I mean it’s way too hoppy and out of balance. Condition is a little watery. It’s ok hides the abv quite well but lacks balance and poise. Chocolate is ok. Bit of burn on the finish. Bit agricultural. As subtle as a Joel Garner bouncer but without the style.
