Hand pumped at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours almost black, with irregular light brown foam. Aroma is medium coffee and a little chocolate and malty. Body is average, with virtually no carbonation. Taste is moderately roasted, with a hint of sweetness. Final is fairly dry.

Cask at GBBF 25 - Opaque creosote brown. Aroma also has creosote and coffee. Light-medium bodied. Actually really low key. Watery espresso and tar and coffee. Light-medium bodied. Creamy.. Average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Somehow punchy yet bland.

On cask @ the Abbotsford. Appearance - deep black and opaque. Nose - initial sweet chocolate, developing into a smoky/roasty finish. Taste - a combination of something creamy that feels like lactose, as well as having a roasty edge. Palate - medium bodied, creamy middle and roasty finish. Overall - good pint of cask.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell on 17th September 2014. Black with light tan head and scant lacing. Roasty aroma. Spicy roastiness in-mouth with citrus, oats and leafy hop. Leafy, grassy finish with roastiness. Engaging mouthfeel and plenty of body.
