[Cask at the Monk’s Retreat (JDW), Reading] Deep brown with a thick tan head. The aroma is dominated by fake chocolate - like that "chocolate candy" that masquerades as chocolate in kids’ pick ’n’ mixes & in the US. On tasting candy cigarettes (or whatever polictically correct name they’re called now) are to the for, with just a hint of roasted malt behind. It’s redeemed a little by a mouthfell that is rich and smooth without being sticky. Some decent black filter coffee shows up in the aftertaste but it’s far too late to compensate for the sickly candy flavour that still lingers. Not a great beer at all.

Cask at Penderel’s Oak, JDW - London. Pours clear, red-brown with strong, creamy beige head. Lots of cheap cocoa in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with lots more of this cheap, quasi artificial chocolate character, light roast, faint earth. Light bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Sweet finish with more sugary and cheap cocoa. Yeah, lots of this low-quality, fake cocoa. So so.

Dark brown. Creamy white head. Very smooth beer. Bitter aroma with notes of roasted coffee and sweet chocolate. Too much sweet chocolate flavour for me. Bitter finish.

Cask by hand pump at the Welkin, served in one-third pint glass at a tray. One patch at the surface of a deep, dark ruby coloured body. Poor lacing. Mocha chocolate to the nose, alright. Gentle mocha taste added by coffee and a little touch of tartness from berries towards the ending. Medium bodied. Enjoying after breakfast drink (Liverpool, 08.04.2013).

Sir John Oldcastle Spoons. Clear dark red-amber beer. Tidy pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Very mild carbonation. Sweet tangy powdered chocolate with a good balance of plummy fruits and red berry fruits. Trace of bubblegum ester. Coffee is well buried. Smooth semi dry finish with a light chocolate aftertaste. Pretty good.

Cask at The William Morris (Wetherspoons), Hammersmith, London. A dark brown/ruby coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Rich sweet chocolate aroma. Tastes sweet, mocha chocolate, hint of coffee. Rich and sweet, quite impressed by this one. Best beer of the fest for me.

Cask@the flying horse JDW Gatwick Airport - Very dark brown to black in colour with almost no head. Nice aroma of choc/mocca but found it rather too sweet in taste for my palate. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask at the Catherine Wheel (JDW), Henley. A great looking beer - a beautiful deep cherry red colour, almost black, and with a tight beige head; the aroma is pure drinking chocolate; in the mouth it’s rich and chocolatey, in a chocolate milk sort of way, but unfortunately it’s also very sweet; the coffee comes through in the dry finish. Overall it’s very easy to drink, but a touch too sweet for me.
