Unplugged Imperial Stout 9.5% on tap at Lingua’s 2nd Anniversary
A deep brown with a beige head and a roasty malty aroma. The taste is a tough syrupy and roasty but with lots of character and honestly the ABV took me by surprise. Really good.

Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aromas of rich chocolate and treacle. Med + body. Flavor is dark chocolate, but sort of milky, with treacle, dark malt, and arguably some small amount of fruit. Maybe a little anise. Most of this is about the kind of chocolate you hold in your mouth to melt. Good stuff. Despite all the malty treacly stuff, it’s actually a little bitter, and tilted towards dry. Good drink.

Cask at Acoustic Ales, SD, 19/04/14. Black with a moderate tan covering. Nose is big roast, orange peel well evident, spice, dark chocolate, toffee fudge. Taste comprises roast malt, liqourice, molasses, mineral bite, hint of aniseed, orange rind, chocolate. Medium boied, soft carbonation, smooth and massageing on the palate, a little dryness in the close. Solid stuff, a brave step to put a 9.5% stout on cask but this one worked pretty well!
