Cask at the Post Office Vaults, Birmingham. Almost jet black pour with small consistent tanned head. Very roasty, molasses and chocolate noted with nice plum fruitiness to give it balance. Fairly full smooth body for the strength. Good.

Pours a deep, dark brown, near black, with a creamy tan head and some bitter chocolate on the nose, and a hint of liquorice. Slightly salty flavour, roasted malt, dry and bitter and creamy smooth but has a slightly peculiar aftertaste

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours almost black with a small milky coffee head. Has a strong aroma, with marshmallows, chocolate and roast malts combining well together. Lots of flavour in the mouth as well. Dark fruits to the fore, plus vanilla, chocolate, and sweet candy. Hints of lactose and jam too. Finish is quite bitter. Rather gorgeous !
