500ml bottle @ the Tenth Shrewsbury Bottle Share, thanks to Simon! Pours dark brown with medium beige head. Very nice malty caramel aroma. Coarse CDA-like taste with confident roasted flavours. Decent stout, I liked.

500ml bottle: shared between 5 on 8th Dec 2014 during a Shrewsbury Bottle Share meeting, cheers Simon (his turn to bring a ’Cock’ beer). We always try and have a little ’titter’ with at least one beer name per meeting: Two Cocks won this time. Loved the white feather on the bottle. Anyway, back to the actual beer. Pours a clear, very dark brown with a tanned/beige head. The aroma was roasted malts mostly with a vanilla trace or two. The flavour was also malts first and foremost, with a slightly bitter and mini burnt twang to the whole taste. The smell indicated a sweeter beer than the taste gave: overall not a bad brew and an OK Stout on all counts.

Cask at the Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown with a frothy light tan head. The aroma is light roasted malt. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light, watery malt, burnt toffee bitter palate. Moderate to light bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle and at Cotteridge Wines Brum with Sarky and Rich. Clear mid brown colour lasting white head. Toffee candy sugar aroma. Ok some hop on finish. Decent best bitter.
