Cask Days 2013.
This was right up there with my highlights of the festival. Expected jet black pour, with a very dark brown, rocky head. The aroma was unbelievable. Huge amounts of coffee, and deeply burnt malts. This was literally like drinking cold coffee with a warming alcohol finish. The finish was quite bitter, but enjoyable. The coffee never let go, and just thrashed my palate all the way down, and possible ruined it for the rest of the day. Incredible beer for a strong coffee lover.
