dark brown color. Very creamy white head. The nose explodes with vanilla, chocolate, espresso notes. Not sweet. Very lovely. The mouth is heavenly with treacles, chocolate fudge, vanilla and hazelnut all put together in a sweet delicate malty backbone. Fantastic. A real gentle beer that is superbly executed. Lingering hazelnut and chocolate finish. perhaps a bit too sweet for some, but I didn’t mind at all

Cask @ Brewery Tap, Leeds. Black with a creamy off-white head. It has a mild roasted aroma but not very stated in its taste for a stout with a very wheat and malt based taste.

Guy Fawkes, York 26 Jan 13. Husøl. Kjempemørk / rubinrød. Nesten svart. Lavt - litt farget skum. God sjokoladearoma. Smaken er kaffe/lakris/sjokolade. Litt metallisk. Antydning til plommer i ettersmaken. Litt tungdrikkelig.

Cask at EBF XVI, listed as ’treason porter’ but googling suggest this is the beer, 07/11/13. Very dark mshogony brown with a moderate beige covering. Nose is dark fruits, light smoke, toffee. Taste comprises tangy fruits, treacle toffee, brown sugar, slightly lactic edge. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry finish with light roast. Ok stuff - nothing I’d be rushing back to mind!

Very dark ruby brown, clear, dense tan head
Aroma of dark fruits, no roast, just rich dark jammy fruits, blackcurrants
Taste - Very fruity, blackcurrants, some soft roasted malts, slight spicy note, dark caramel
Palate - Medium to light body, bit aerated, sticky. Finish - rather dry, roasted malt coming through more in the linger
Overall - Very fruity stout with not much roast - it’s nice enough

House beer at Guy Fawkes Inn, half pint, cask ale. Rosewood coloured body. Fawn-coloured head, satisfying lacework. Modest smoked malts to the nose with notes of chocolate. Comprehensive taste profile of grainy chocolate and caramel joined by dark fruits. Rounded bittersweet ending. Nice (York, 26.01.2013).

Cask-conditioned at the North Yorkshire beeriodical, the Seven Stars, Bristol 10/12/2012. Dark brown with a tight, off-white head. Aroma of plain chocolate, black coffee and porridge oats. Flavour had a touch of sweetness, more chocolate and roasted malts, with a dryish, slightly tangy, finish. Enjoyable.
