(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 20 April 2012) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of freshly ground coffee, dark bread and roasted malt. Malty, roasted taste with fresh black coffee, dark rye bread, roasted grain and a generous coffee bitterness in the finish. Medium body, mainly dry. I wouldn’t really call it a pilsner, but it’s a nice dark lager with quite an impressive coffee character. Nice one.

Cask at PSBH, 29th March 2012. Dark brown ale, good aroma, you get the cofee and malt. Follows though in the taste. Good beer, tried this next to the Dark Star Imperial, this in my view was far superior.

Cask at the CASK Pub & Kitchen (London branch) on 9th March 2012. Clear dark brown with pale brown to off white foam quickly decaying to ring and film and leaving partial lacing. Roast, fresh coffee beans in aroma. Main taste is of rich roastiness - bitter with coffee beans, smokiness and chicory. Finish is richly malty with fresh-ground coffee and strong bitterness yet rounded and delicate. Engaging texture, thickish body. Outstanding.

On tap at CP&K. Clear dark red-brown beer. Little pale tan head. Light dry palate, fresh. Smooth coffee, not bitter. Decent and fresh but really comes over as coffeeish porter than anything unusual. Good try though!

Cask, handpump at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell, London in company of Loz, Ian, Jackie, Emma, Tom & Edking 25.02.12 Incredible coffee bean nose like thrusting ones head into a sack of freshly roasted coffee beans. I found the taste a little less exciting, sure the coffee was there and along with some light milk chocolate touches it was pleasant but the aroma was the thing for me. A8 A4 T6 P3 Ov14 3.5 I had this again on Cask handpump at the Shoulder of Mutton, Wantage, Oxon 25.04.12 Black in colour with small head. Aroma of freshly brewed coffee, taste similar to with a distinctive roasty tang. Lovely beer. A7 A5 T7 P4 Ov14 3.7

Cask at CBC, London. Pours clear, dark brown with a small, creamy foam head. Pure filter coffee aroma. Yes, black. Nice flavor, medium sweet, true and rich coffee flavor. Sweet, lightly sticky finish, filter coffee, light roast. Very nice beer. I’d never guess this is a pilsner. There is a very pleasant, mild bitterness that hints of earth, dirt and grass. Very good.
