Fra fat på Babington Arms i Derby 21 Feb 16. Delt med Rune. Svart. Lavt tett mokkafarget skum. Tett lacing. Forsiktig aroma av røstet malt. Smaken karamell & kaffe. Lett syrlig. Avslutninga er kaffe. Lite variert.

Cask @ Wetherspoon’s Piccadilly, Manchester as Dorset Midnight Blinder. Dark amber-red with a small head. More sweet in character than a stout for which it is labeled in style, there’s a strength in here too.

Cask handpull at The Lord Moon of the Mall Whitehall. Black beer lasting beige head. Touch of liquorice on the aroma. Never my favourite flavour in a beer. But the rest of the beer is ok. Solid. Ok dark beer. I quite like the finish but can’t say why . Ok

Cask at the Claude du Vall (JDW), Camberley as Dorset Midnight Blinder. An attractive ruby port colour with a thick creamy cream head that left excellent lacing right to the bottom of the glass; the aroma is fairly straightforward milk chocolate; but in the mouth it’s much more complex, smooth and dry, with well roasted malts giving flavours of cherry, purple fruits, and toasted nuts; then a bitter chocolate finish to round things off very nicely. Seems like a Porter to me, and a jolly good one at that. (Although the JDW tasting notes describe it as a Stout - and it’s listed as an English Strong Ale here.)
