Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a deep mahogany colour with a thick tan head. The aroma is somewhat weak malty. The flavour is of fruit, liquorice, chocolate and with a nice smooth bitter palate. One of the nicest stouts I’ve ever tasted!

Hand-pulled half-pint in ’The Wellington’ Birmingham (West Midlands) on 5th Dec 2012. Stout dark, with a good solid tanned head that produced some impressive lacing on my glass. As you’d expect from a stout, this was all malts: toasted, semi-burnt malts to be exact. Those malts gave the beer liquorice, chocolate and coffee flavours: in both the nose and taste, all with equal measures, and along with the hop content gave the the beer a good balanced feel. Nicely put together, sad I could only have the half-pint, but there was more shopping to do according to the lady with me!

Cask at the Craft Beer Co in Clerkenwell on 5th October 2012. Almost black with thinnish dying head and no lace. Richly caramelly and fruity aroma. Very fruity and somewhat herby in-mouth, with touches of nuttiness, alcohol and cherries. Malty and fruity end with berry fruits lingering. Light, clingy mouthfeel and medium body.

Cask at GBBF 2011. Great pump clip. Pours brown-black with a bubbly, tan head. Rich mocha aroma, decent roast. Nice flavor, some dry roast, light smoke. Medium sweet with some minerality. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Mild sweet finish, brown sugar, light mocha, light tang. Very good beer. I’m happy to drink this.

Gravity cask at the Stourbridge beer festival. Pours black with a thin head. Aroma was roast malt and blackberries. Taste was watery to start with a coffee aftertaste. A little thin.

Cask. A deep red beer with a brown head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel as well as a hint of butter. The flavor is very sweet with notes of caramel, butterscotch, and malt, leading to a dry and lightly roasted finish.
