Cask, handpump at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell, London, 06.12.11 Pours chestnut with a light beige head. This is nutty and drinks far easier than the abv would suggest it should, malty beer with hops showing this is reasonably straightforward but it is good stuff A7 A4 A7 P3 Ov13 3.4

Cask at CP&K. It pours very dark brown, with a decent beige head. The nose is tangy dark dried fruit, chocolate, wood and leather. The taste is toasted malt, caramel, raisin, sultana, cherry, red grape, wood, leather, dryness, chocolate and varnish, with a smooth, somewhat sweet finish. Med body, soft carbonation and good balance. Very tasty and well done.

Cask conditioned at the brewery tap, the Old Tavern Bristol 24/11/07. Near black with a thin tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark fruit and some sweet malt. The flavour had more chocolate and fruit plus some tobacco. The finish had plenty of dryness and a tarry edge. Excellent.

Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. Black with brown edges. Thin pale tan head. Stouty aroma. Quite oily. But hoppy as well. Good integrated alcohol. Bit of rubber. Good, bit minty on end too. Some ashtray. As Chris_o said, it had true ersatz, the whole was the better than the sum of the parts. Good start to the Friday session.
