Cask at the source. Opaque maroon brown color, fine tan head with good retention and solid lacing. Earthy coffee grounds aroma with a hint of cocoa. Taste is equally earthy and roasty. Delicious.

Cask at the hanging bat. Deep black pour, dark tan head. Aromas of whisky, oak, dark stone fruit. More on the taste, whisky coming through. Nice sweet linger. Good.

Called XXX Brodies Prime at the NWAF ’13, it’s a strong black ale which heats the palate through its strength but retains its fruit flavours.

Cask at CPK, London. Pours clear, black-brown with a fine, creamy head. Rich aroma with cocoa, coffee, whisky, wood. Medium to big sweet flavor with some bitter, booze-soaked wood, dark chocolate, some pinot noir, charred earth, lightly tangy dark fruits. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Mildly warming to finish but impressively mild (i.e. low-impact) at the same time, with some dark wood, dark chocolate, light coffee. There’s a great wood character permeating this beer. Great stuff. I wish I saw Hawkshead more often.
