Cask at Wellington, Birmingham. Pours black, small beige head, nice retention. Aroma is sweet, malty, some raisin fruitiness. Taste is the same with a chocolate malt character, tangy dried fruit and dry bitter finish. Medium bodied, slightly chewy. Quite nice although a little underwhelming for a 6% ABV beer.

Cask at Hops, Crewe Drunk this many times before, but not reviewed it. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small beige head. Nose is predominantly coffee with traces of liquorice. Flavour has roast malts, chewy liquorice, dark chocolate and alcoholic strength, together with hints of ginger. Despite all this flavour, it does seem to be a bit watery. Finish is dry and boozy. A very good strong stout.
