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.

Bottle from Asda, Carlisle 061011
Very dark brown with ruby edges, tan head.
Aroma of roasted malt....chocolate....light coffee...some fruityness...well blended.
Roasted malt flavour with light chocolate...some coffee.....dark fruits - raisins...quite complex...good smooth flavour
Palate - a bit dry, smooth, soft carb, quite silky but a bit thin. Finish of light roast malt and chocolate.....slight alcohol warming.
Very good, flavoursome stout. Yummy and smooth. If it had more body it would be superb. Must try this cask.

Bottled. Deep rubyish brown colour with small beige head. Aroma is plum, raisins, pudding and some mild grass, fruits and herbs. Flavour is much the same in a very nice balance. Quite pleasant stout.

Bottle from Corks, Bristol. Opaque black with a slight tan head and no carbonation. Aroma of roasted malt, some toffee and a hint of creaminess. Surpsisingly light mouth feel, with sweet flavours of dark fruit, chocolate and caramel, finishing off pleasantly dry with some warming alcohol. Very good.

500 ml bottle, bought in Scarborough. Dent t’Owd Tup was voted Champion Winter Beer of Britain in 1999, a fact that is still proudly displayed on the label. Black colour, reddish brown in the highlights. Decent creamy tan head, does not last forever. Moderate but very nice roasty aroma, notes of coffee, hints of chocolate, leather and plums. Concerning the flavour, for once I find it appropriate to quote the commercial description / tasting notes: "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." Pretty much spot on, if you ask me. A combination of maltiness and fruitiness carries the beer through, and Northdown hops are used for both aroma and flavour. Good stuff!

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 2007. Very dark ruby colour with disappearing beige head. Tarry blackcurrant is intense. Chewy in mouth, verges on tarry molasses, but the fruit keeps it in check. Great integrated alcohol, gives body without dominating. Fruit and dates and blackberry are very good. Oddly refreshing.
