Cask at the Old Fountain. Black coloured with beige head. Aroma is bit of coffee and a bit of chocolate. Bit oaty too. Taste is very creamy, nice milky chocolate. Very smooth. Everything you would expect from a beer like this and nothing that unusual, but still very nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of Red Squirrel West Coast Stout on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.

The Hope, Carlshalton. Opaque black beer, good pale tan head. Palate is light and airy and smooth with very fine carbonation. Smooth dark malts, mildly tangy. A little lactose and smooth coffee. Mild tangy dark fruits. Semi dry finish. Just a nice stout in very good condition.

Roasted, malty taste with notes of chocolate, dark bread and a touch of citric hops in the finish. Rather light body, mainly dry. Well balanced and tasty stout. Nice one.

@Wenlock. Medium brown. Thin cask head. The aroma has lots of vanilla. Taste is fairly sweet, dominated by vanilla. Doesn’t come together - vanilla is the west coast of what? Madagascar?

Cask at the CASK Pub & Kitchen, London on 6th August 2010. Clear, dark red almost black with a greyish film of part-lacing foam. Roast malts in the aroma with a touch of moccha; main taste is caramel molasses, coffee and bitter chocolate. A dryish, yet tangy finish and the mouthfeel is light textured.

Cask-conditioned at the Southampton Arms, London 6/3/10. Near black with a slight, off-white head. Leafy hop aroma with some chocolate and roasted malts. Flavour had some dark fruit, coffee and more hops in the finish. Fairly light in character but very drinkable.
