Cask at The Grill. It pours jet black with a thick and lively dark tan head. The aroma is rich, dark roasted, bitter, charred, dark chocolate, umami, liquorice and burnt treacle. The taste is firmly dry, dark roasted malt, charred, umami, liquorice, toothy, very bitter actually and it lingers throughout burnt toast, chewy, tanni, peppery spice and coffee beans with a bitter, lingering finish. Average carbonation and decent body. Robust and satisfying. Very well done.

Hand-pulled half-pint on Tuesday evening, 21st January 2025; Needle and Pin, Loughborough. Black bodied, creamy beige head. Soft feel to this coffee laden nutty and malty Oatmeal Stout. Slipped down far too easily.

Cask at Athletic Arms. Black body with ruby highlights and a beige head. Good lacing. Aroma of cranberry and roasted malt. Flavour of red fruit, earth and dark chocolate. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Tangy and roasted. Very nice.
