Rich in flavour and deep in character, our stout salutes Brixton’s Windrush Square named after the MV Empire Windrush – the ship that brought the first wave of West Indian immigrants to South London in 1948. So take a sip and say cheers to the vibrant Caribbean culture that makes Brixton come alive. 104 EBC.

Semi opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is light, dry and minerally crisp. Mild and thin dark malts but with decent flavour. Touches of dark chocolate and fruity tang. The dark malt turns a little sweeter before a light finish.

Bottle at home after a long day at work picked up from Sourced Market. Dark black with ruby red hues in the light. Pretty clear. Nice big tan head that fades to a thin cap. Aroma is smokey ashy roast, chalk, berries and some soapy notes. Later some hot alcohol acetone aromas develop. Flavour is ionitially some nice berry fruits, then harsh chalky mineral and even harsher ashy bitter roast Palate is thin and minerally. Some hot alcohol in fkavour as well. Pretty disappointing.

Bottle, from Sourced Market, split with Yespr on the train to Hostelboro, 28/02/14. Extremely dark mahogony brown/light black with a good sized tan head that retains well. Nose is light chocolate, dark fruits, toffee fudge, hint of spice, liqourice, burnt sugars. Taste comprises earthy cocoa, toffee fudge, ashen, dark fruit pangs, earthy notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so stout but drinkable enough.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras, drunk at home. Black beer lasting tan head. Almost a rum like stout aroma. Perhaps that’s just association. OK stout. Interesting malt flavour not just your straight up chocolate and coffee, some molasses in there and figs and dates. Decent.

Cask at CBC Brixton - London. Pours clear brown with a creamy tan cap. Muddled aroma, some burnt malts, wet earth. Light sweet flavor with more burnt malts, some charred caramel, dirt, leaves. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Messy finish with char, burnt grass and leaves, earth, some abrasive bitterness. Chalky mouthfeel. Poor.
