Cask at Craft, 21st March 2013. Bit too much on the chocolate for me, some coffee and some smoke. I prefer smokeless

Cask at CP&K. It pours very dark brown with a small beige head. The nose roasted malt, light smoke, dark chocolate, earth and coffee. The taste is roasted malt, dark chocolate, espresso, earth and leather with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Smooth and very drinkable.

From bar 3 at NWAF, handpump, half shared with Finn. Deep devil-black body. Headless, dotted spots to the glassware. Smell of cocoa and coffee. Flavour of cold coffee added by a nice roastiness. Bitter liquorice to the finish. Medium bodied. Likable (Manchester, 24.01.2013).

Bottle from Jacks, Westholme Stores, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon consumed at home Sunday 15th July 2012 Dark brown, and much like my previous beer (just had) from Yorkshire Dales this is also flat with barely a bubble in sight. Some chocolate with a bit of wartery thin dark fruit. Tangy and fruity but sadly this is unusual for Redwillow in that I find this very ordinary at best. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Bottle from Corks, Bristol. Opaque black with a tiny tan head. A bit flat condition wise. Aroma of roasted malts and plan chocolate. Flavour was sweet, with more chocolate, some coffee and a dryish finish. Fine, but lacking a certain oomph.
