30th Aug 2014, Birmingham. Hand-pulled pint; the word ’Unights’ was not on the pumpclip, but this is the same beer (I think). Pours a true black with a deep tanned head. Dry and bitter stout with roasted, dark malts: some liquorice and coffee notes within the nose and flavours. My last beer of a heavy days drinking during a fun packed pub crawl with family and friends.
