Tap. Nitro pour. The Bear. Kernel MTB. Another one I thought I must have ticked. Darkest brown. Inevitably a good dense swede. Nutty and lightly sugared coffee character. Some gentle sweetness but mostly it’s pretty bitter. Smooth and easy drinking with good depth of flavour. Nice. Surprised Evin allows a nitro pour tbh, but if that’s what sells that’s it innit.

Keg at The French House, Soho. A half of course?! Aroma is creamy with very light coffee. Flavourwise it has coffee bitterness and sour berries but all rather low key. Light-medium bodied. Soft carbonation. Long finish. OK. Smooth but unexciting.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Gospel Oak, London, 29 May 2025) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, coffee, liquorice and black bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of chocolate, coffee, liquorice, black bread and a balanced roasty bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Solid and well made stout. Very nice.

Cask at the source. A opaque jet black coloured pour with a lasting loose khaki head. Aroma is woody roast, farmyard, Ash, bark, vanilla, wax. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, nutty roast, bitter roasted barley, creamy, burnt toast. Palate is semi sweet, oily, not much cask condition. Sub par for kernel.
