Cask at the Walsall CAMRA Beer Festival 2014. Poured a hazy dark brown with a bubbly broken light tan head. The aroma is rich boozy alcohol, liqourice, red berry fruit and roasted malt. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with a smooth rich fruit alcoholic liqourice bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Should be a porter not a stout IMO. The aroma was amazing but it fell away a little towards the end. A great beer nonetheless and I will order one at the Fountain. More of the same guys. The brewery needs more signature beers like this.
