Cask-conditioned at the Shakespeare’s Head (JDW), Kingsway 9/04/10 at 5% ABV. Near black in colour with a decent, tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, coconut, roasted malts and rum. Flavour was sweet, with plenty more coconut and chocolate, and black coffee leading to a dry finish. Enjoyable, but a half pint was probably enough - the coconut was becoming more prominent by the end of the glass.

Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury. 5% ABV. Black with ruby edges. Disappearing dark beige head. I’m not a big fan of coconut, but I thought that this was pretty good. Nice thick malts, some choc coconut on aorma, like a dark chocolate Bounty bar. Good mouthfeel. I like the swallow and finish very much. Really good, some burnt malt bitterness on finish. Love the third of a pint. It’s good, really deep and satisfying with a bit of spice and sweetness from the coconut. 3.7/5.0 Had another half. I mean I like it, but maybe not as much as before, but I’m still thinking that if I get bored later this evening, I know I can go up the road and have a pint of this later. Just a bit thinner than I thought initially. Good flavours though
