Cast Iron Billy is a luxuriously smooth and heady stout that harkens back to the smog-filled streets of a Victorian London consumed by the industrial revolution. Imperial in terms of its ABV, this 10.5% delight is a majestic drop of roasty and malty beer that packs aromas of coffee, dark berry flavours and delicate hints of vanilla. A real treat of a brew that should be savoured slowly and enjoyed to the fullest.

Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, licorice, caramel and hint of coffee. Taste is medium sweet and light to medium bitter with a long warm, chocolate, roasted, licorice and caramel finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

On tap @Mad for Beer (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma beige media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note di cioccolato, melassa, nocciola, caramella d'orzo, leggero caffè. In bocca è sbilanciata sul dolce, ma appagante. Corpo pieno, carbonazione medio-leggera. Stucchevole.

33cl bottle. The beer poured near black, thin off white head. Nutty notes, chocolate mousse and coffee in aroma. Strong nuttyness, chocolate and coffee. Malty with roasty, woody, dry finish. Full bodied. Lovely.

0,33 flaske delt med skibsrederen og skogsmatrosen på Holmens siste aktivitetsdag i 2018: mmm, ah og ajaj - spontane gledsutbrudd rundt bordet, dette er et fyrtårn å sikte mot for oss hjemmebryggere. Superfed aroma og smag, mørke fløtekarameller, karamellkjeks, knekk/krokan, whiskey, rosiner og sviskeplommer i perfekt symbiose med den solide maltkroppen. En delikat bitterhet sørger for at avslutningen er like elegant som intorduksjonen og gjennomføringsdelen. I særklasse den beste brown ale jeg har smakt til nå.
