Cask at Good Intent, Birmingham. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small scummy cream head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly roasted malts with traces of oats and vanilla. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy, but with a little underlying bitterness. Roasted malts again in the flavour, along with lactose and vanilla with hints of chocolate, balsam and honey later on. Finish is slightly dry. This is quite nice – smooth and easy drinking.

Cask at the Good Intent, Birmingham. Clear gold, small white head. Aroma of pineapple, citrus, background malts. Zesty, malty, light tanginess, good bitterness running through. Nothing amazing but it's decent.

Keg from Good Intent, Birmingham. Pours black lovely looking off white head. Looks like a Guinness. More aroma than the old Irish classic. Nice roast and coffee notes without being overly rich. Taste of roasted malts and coffee bitterness, some blackcurrant, semi sweetness to give some balance. Nice smooth body with low carbonation. Just a bit more hoppy fruitiness or spice would turn this into a great stout, but it's very good.
