11/2/2019. Bottle from Bottle Mix, Kettering. Pours almost black with a tan coloured head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, slight liquorice and dark fruit/berries. Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Pretty good.

Bottle from Bottle Mix, Kettering. Nice creamy head with good duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are rich roast malt, coffee, chocolate and hops. A bit too carbonated. Sweet and bitter finish.

Black beer, beige head. Woody, coffee aroma. Flavour follows suit, with a whack of earthy malt and liquorice. Dry, malty aftertaste.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 13/1/2018. Black in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Toasty malts, blackcurrant fruit, touch of liquorice and moderately dry finish. Good.

Handpull cask at the Queen Edith, Cambridge. Brown or black? Hard to tell. Certainly dark as you like. The malt dominates the aroma, with freshly roast coffee and charcoal not quite successful in completely drowning out the grassy hop. I expected it to be really dry, and it is, but there’s a gorgeous blackberry sweetness which creeps in around the start of the sip. It finishes bitter and dry, though, and the malt feels over-roasted on the charred finish. The flat, oily body doesn’t help either. Am I just being picky? A bit, because all in all this is a pretty exemplary recipe.

Cask at the chesham brewery shop. Opaque dark brown / black coloured pour with a lasting loose tan head. Aroma is woodland berry, tart fruits, raisin, bit of coffee, ash. Flavour is big rough coffee, woody, spicy yeast, charred wood. Bit of booze. Palate is full, sweet, moderate cask condition. Long lingering woody roast and berry.

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 3. Pours rich black with a bubbly, tan head. Cocoa and roasted malt aroma. Medium sweet flavor, notes of milk chocolate, good roasted malts. Slight lactic sugars. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Great, balanced finish, mild burnt sugar, roasty malts. Suberb stuff. Very well done.
