Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Black body with a thin beige head that fades. No lacing. Aroma of orange zest and marzipan. Flavour of honey and sweet barrel. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. It’s quite sweet and gnarly.

Tap at Goat and Munch, Chester Nose is a heady mix of brandy / cognac booziness interlaced with vanilla. Pours a very dark brown with a small cream head. In the mouth the vanilla leaps out to start before a general sweetness of cake, toffee and fudge comes through. The finish is mainly coffee and liquorice. You can tell that it’s strong, but that doesn’t overwhelm the taste. Nice – though I wouldn’t like to drink too many at once !

Keg at The Sparrow, Bradford. It pours opaque jet black with a decent tan head. The aroma is sweet, intoxicating, sticky, vanilla, chocolate brownie, creamy coffee, caramel and Mars bar. The taste is dry, bitter, ashy, charred, burnt toast, umami, liquorice, cacao nibs, touch of vanilla, coffee grounds, some boozy warmth and leather with a peppery roast finish. Fulsome body and fine carbonation. Oily as it warms. Rich and robust. Fun stuff.

Cask @ Head Of Steam, Leeds. Black with a small off-white head. It's very stated with its roasted malts, and these hide its strength. Surprisingly crisp, it has plenty of nose.

Keg at CBC Old Street, 23/11/17. Black with a handsome tan head. Nose is rich roast, bitter dark chocolate, light spice, molasses. Taste comprises chocolate cake, vanilla essence, light smoke, charr, roasted malts, toffee fudge. Medium plus body, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light boost. Really good well joined up impy stout ... drinks below the abv and slips down easily.
