Black color with a small beige head. Some lacing. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. A bit dry ending. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Mainly roast and coffee in the flavor. Decent and easy to drink.

Cask, in good drinking company with Grumbo, Saxo, Camons, Rasmus40 and Cunningham at Fat Cat in Norwich. Pitch black body, moderate beige head. Distinctly smell of roasted dark malts. Mixed flavour profile of cocoa, liquorice and dough. Roasted bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied. Pleasant stout (18.02.2017).

Cask @ Montgomeryโs Tower. Pours black with ruby hints. Initial smooth chocolate with nods towards liquorice and roast. Thought this would be a high-rater but finished rather thin and seemed to fade fast.
