Explore the mature smooth complex flavours in this dark beer. Inspired by historic Norfolk men that reared Norfolk Black turkeys before walking with them by road to the markets in London. I think they deserved a decent beer after that!

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2011. Black as hell. Thick beige head. Liquorice burnt engine oil on aroma. Great condition in the mouth. Some fish oil. Dry on end. Everything about this beer should make me not like it. But I do. I love the dry roast finish. Rather distinctive. The dark roast dark choc comes thru. Odd individual but likeable.

50 cL bottle, courtesy of fonefan. Pours dark brown with a small orange rim. Roasted malt and spiced aroma. Smooth chocolate and spiced flavoured with a light dry acidic roasted flavour coming through. Lingering acidic and spiced finish. Nice one.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Pours an opaque dark brown with a rough, light brown head. Aroma of tar and tobacco. Medium-bodied with very burned malt accents, salty licorice and a distinct malt bitterness. A strange Stout indeed. 031008

Bottled. A deep red-brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of roasted malt and soy sauce. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of rosted malt, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks fonefan and Brugmansia for sharing.

Bottle, 6%. Sweet and creamy aroma. Almost black colour. Very small light brown head. OK roasted flavour, slightly bitter from the barley. Good mouthfeel. Not bad, but I expect more from style and ABV.
