Cask at 2011 Deeside Beer Festival. It pours jet black with a thin foamy tan head and soft carbonation. The nose is smokey bacon, bonfire, dark chocolate, sesame seed and perhaps a little soy sauce. The taste is smoke, charcoal, sesame seed, soy sauce, liquorice, bitter chocolate and a little caramel, with a surprisingly bitter finish. Good quality stout but, which is perhaps a bit too thin to handle the bitterness.

Cask at Market Porter, London. A black coloured pour with a medium beige head. Roasty aroma. Tastes malty, roasty, creamy, rather thin. Not my cup of tea.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2010. Black, lasting thin tan head. Lovely thick choc, roasted malt aroma, almost impy stout like. Touch of smoke I thought. Really good stout. Bit of powder, lovely stout. Touch of lactic flavour on swallow. Good stout.

Cask @ 3 Judges. Black colour, short brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate and oats, hint of glue. Flavour of roasted malts, fruity, chocolate. Medium bodied. This is good stuff. Again cask @ 3 Judges. Long smooth roastiness. Very sessionable. One of the best drinkable porters I’ve had. +.4
