A rich full flavoured, strong stout with a roast coffee aroma. The dominant roast character is balanced by a warming sweetness and a raisiny, fruit-cake taste which lingers on into the long aftertaste, making this a very satisfying drink.

500ml bottle from Booths in Windermere - Opaque black with a slight tan head and no carbonation. Aroma of roasted malt, some toffee and a hint of creaminess. Surprisingly light mouth feel, with sweet flavours of dark fruit, chocolate and caramel, finishing off pleasantly dry with some warming alcohol.Went down a treat this one, nice surprise.

Cask gravity at the Wandsworth beer fest preview night 26/03/14. Dark caramel colour with a greyish tan head. . aroma is chocolate raisin, slightly sweet wort. Flavour is nice chocolate raisin cake and low roast in the finish. Nicely put together. Could pass for a mild. Medium sweet palate. Slight grain tanin. Nice malt forward beer.

Cask at the Le Gothique’s Halloween Beer Festival 2013. Poured a dark ruby colour with a rocky beige head. Aroma was malty with dark fruit and acidic note. Nutty flavour again with slightly sharp tones and some caramel. Palate was more rounded with brown sugar, coffee and orange peal. Not sure if this was in top condition...

Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Common Halloween Beer Festival - Le Gothique, London. Pours clear, red-brown with a bubbly tan head. The aroma holds mostly tangy dark fruits, some plum especially. Light sweet flavor with berries, dried fruits, more plum. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Light sweetness in the finish with further tangy dark fruits, faint earthy bitterness, background cocoa. Meh.

Cask at Grape & Grain. It pours near black with a small beige head. The nose is roasty, smoke, toast, light malt vinegar and stewed jammy fruits. The taste is rich roast, liquorice, coffee, light tang, mild acidity, light bitterness, some fruit and cola with a dry, roasty finish. Med body and fine carbonation. A tasty, robust stout.

Fine roasted aroma, similar taste but with chocolate notes with a medium and refreshing body.

From BA in December 2007: This bottle was given to me by a work colleague, thanks Ian. Poured into a Hannen Alt glass three times, it was a deep ruby red colour with a fast fading brown head. The aroma was all about farmyards, farmyards where sheep have just moved through and left a few piles of droppings behind them. Some would call it a healthy country smell others would not be so kind. The bottle says ’May contain gluten’, well does it or doesn’t it? I didn’t find anything to like about the taste. There were some burnt malts, maybe some burnt caramel but mostly a peat come earthy smack to it which I just couldn’t take too. The 6% wasn’t really evident to me, but the flavours I mentioned above did linger, so the mouthfeel was OK even if i didn’t enjoy it. Big disappointment and letdown, this was not what I expected at all. Winter beer of Britain 1999 ’My Arse’.
