Like its four-legged namesake, this stout is strong, bold and rich in flavour, with a smooth creamy head for good measure. We even spread the love by feeding the spent grain from the brewing process to our own herd of Belted Galloway cattle.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a minimal cream head and good lacing. Has a vague aroma of nuts and vanilla. In the mouth it is quite sweet with low carbonation and a creamy texture. Flavour veers between dark fruits and milky coffee. Finish is sweet and fruity. This is OK, but by no means a worldbeater.

A nice, smooth stout. Quite malty and dry with a bit of dark chocolate. Not loads else going on but it's decent.

Half pint on cask at Southampton Arms, pours a watery cola brown, fairly dark, sudsy off white head. Nose has malt, molasses, licorice, rootbeer, light cocoa. Flavors of cocoa powder, 3 musketeers bar, licorice. Finishes with some tannins and more body that you expect at 4%.

Cask at CBC Covent Garden - London. Pours clear brown with a frothy, khaki head. Fairly dry, ample ashy bitterness, earth, chalky cocoa. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Strongly bitter finish, lightly astringent, more assertive ashy roast, baking cocoa. Decent, if a bit strong on flavour.

(Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico, London, 27 May 2018) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of coffee, chocolate and dark rye bread. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, coffee, black rye bread and a balanced coffee bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Not very complex, but solid and well made stout. Very nice.
