Bottle via the online shop. Very dark chestnut brown. Fine foam of beige. Nose has cocoa. Some ashy malts. Hint of milky coffee. Some background grassy hop. Taste is dry and ashy bitter. Nicely smooth with soft carbonation. Light dry and light grassy bitterness to finish.

Gravicask at Camra’s NWAF. Shared with Finn. Inky black body. No head, poor lacing. Dark fruity nose added by roasted malts. Mixed taste of dark fruits and dark dough. Hints of roasted malts to the finish. Medium bodied. On an average level, more or less (Derby 17.02.2016).

Fra cask/gravity på NWAF i Derby 17 Feb 16. Delt med Rune. Svart. 0 skum. Lett surølaroma. Smaken rosiner. Litt syrlig etter hvert.

Cask at the Blue Anchor, Helston. It pours jet black with a thick light tan head. The nose is rich roast, liquorice, polished leather boots, earth, umami and some dark fruits. The taste is rich roasted malts, salted liquorice, ash, lightly charred wood, umami, tangy blackcurrant jam and light acidity with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Has a nice old-school stout vibe. Good stuff.
