Cask at Holborn Whippet, London on 15 June. Pours a very dark, almost black colour with an off-white head. Burnt malt and strong grassy hops. Balanced citrus and burnt bitterness. Very nice.

Keg at the brewery taproom, 30/03/13. Mid black with a thin tan head that retains well. Nose carries hops, light plastic notes, putty, touch of chocolate, grapefruit, slightly artificial all told. Taste comprises hops, grapefruit, pine, touch of chocolate, mineral tones. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry bitter finish. This would have been a cracker had it not been for the nose which lets it down 2 or 3 notches for me, still an eminently drinkable cascadian dark.

Keg at the brewery tap room, Hackey. Pours black-brown with a tight, creamy beige head. The head really lingers and leaves nicely layered lacing. Aroma holds lots of ashy roast, torched pine, dirt. Light to medium sweet flavor, some minerals, burnt wood, moderate bitterness, more dirt, toasted grass, burnt bread. Light to medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Lightly resinous, burnt pine to finish, more lean minerals, hints of cocoa, mellow roast, dirt. Very drinkable beer. Good nuance, good balance.

On tap at the London Fields Taproom Saturday 1st March 2013 Pours dark, dark brown, with a slim off-white head, looks bloody good. Good aroma with dark chocolate, some coal dust and a little light smokiness. Good taste, whilst my description may hint at a rough little diamond it is more than this. I get a little bit of burnt charcoal, bitter chocolate, nice roasted malts and yet it is also quite soft, silky and smooth, nice lingering bitterness throughout and a couple of hoppy burps suggest a goodly dose of hops in here. Very, very good. A7 A5 T8 P4 Ov16 4.0
