Keg at the Taps, Beaconsfield. Black with a tan head and a bit of fizz. Fruity liquorice up front - apples and blackberries being the fruits. Not much evidence of the salt other than a savoury leather taste in the finish. I'm not a fan of liquorice and wouldn't have bought this if I'd known the brewer was aiming for a liquorice flavour - the description just said it was a sea salt stout. Nevertheless, it's still quite nice despite the liquorice.
