Dark chocolate and a gentle, smokey, malt backbone from a complex malt bill sit alongside notes of red berries from English Bramling Cross hops. All support the luxurious cold-pressed coffee.
Fruity characteristics of redcurrant, apple, raspberry & cacao nibs along with intense coffee notes.

Cask-conditioned at the Pelican, Gloucester, 22/3/2024. Jet black in colour, with a tight, beige, head. Liquorice, chocolate and some coffee character, before a slight creamy finish with some toastiness in the background. Enjoyable.

Cask @ Tap and Can. Pours black with a tan head. Bitter roast and liquorice set the tone, offset by some curious sweet milky chocolatey shades rising from within. Really excellent cask stout.

11/3/2023. Cask at the 2023 Coventry Beer Festival. Pours close to black with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma of coffee, vanilla, light roasted malt. Quite sweet with light roasted bitterness. Moderate body, watery, soft carbonation. Nice aroma but lacked body.

Cask at The 38th Pig's Ear Beer Festival, Hackney, London. A dark brown/black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Roasty, malty, coffee aroma & taste. It's OK.
