Keg at The Cock. It pours near black with a small beige head. The nose is rich roast, plum, prune, toasty, soft sweetness and sugary fruits. The taste is bitter, rich roast, charred wood, peppery grapefruit, orange peel, plum skin and booze with a lingering dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Punchy and pretty tasty.

Cock Tavern. Keg. Opaque dark brown beer, good creamy tan colour head. Palate is smooth and dry with good fine carbonation. Roasty malt, delivered smooth. An odd yohgurt and lactose in grating contrast. Agressively bitter hops. A touch of red berries before earthy coffee and more harshly bitter hops. Bitter dry finish. Could not drink more than a 6th of a pint of this, the yoghurt, harsh bitterness and roast malts do not make for happy bedfellowes. It’s a real mess and very rare miss from Howling Hops.

Keg at the Cock, 01/09/14. Black with a well appointed tan covering that dissipates then retains, good lacing ensues. Nose is light roast, cocoa powder, dark toffee, earthy hop, hint of pine. Taste comprises citric rinds, more earthy hop presence, red berry pang, pine, grapefruit, light minerals, liqourice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with bitter roastings and moderate bitterness. Ok CDA but no show stopper/

Keg at the Cock Tavern - London. Pours clearish black with a tight, creamy tan head. The nose has light yoghurt, cherry and cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with mellow roasted malts, earth, pine, some tangerine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Light charred malt roast in the finish with moderate chocolate and more berry-laden yoghurt. OK.
