This is a silky-smooth dark stout, brewed with the addition of oats for a chocolaty, creamy finish. A limited-edition beer brewed by Yazoo for the cool autumn weather, this is a brand new ale to Wetherspoon.

Cask at London & North Western, Birmingham. Out of the 9 festival beers I've tried so far this is by far the best. Pours a dark ruby with beige to tanned head. Fruit cake, chocolate, treacle, moderate roast and creamy oats. Smooth mid-body. Very tasty.

Third of a cask pint in my local Wetherspoons on 14th October 2024. Slight ruby hue to the dark brown body, creamy beige crown that hung around. Pleasant malty nature, with minimal hop action. Cadbury's Fruit and Nut chocolate bar sort of flavour, but not as sweet.

Cask at The Moon on the Hill (Wetherspoons), Harrow. A very dark ruby/brown/black coloured pour with a healthy beige head on top. Sweetish, roasty, malty, chocolate, coffee taste/aroma. Almost a Belgian theme in this one. A pretty decent effort actually for a Spoons festival stout.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A glossy black pour with a ruby red gleam with a thin caramel coloured head; oaty aroma; silky smooth in the mouth with an oaty body and chocolate and roasted grains; and a dry finish with soused raisins. A satisfying stout.
