Cask at the Blue Anchor, Helston. It pours jet black with a thick light tan head. The nose is rich roast, liquorice, polished leather boots, earth, umami and some dark fruits. The taste is rich roasted malts, salted liquorice, ash, lightly charred wood, umami, tangy blackcurrant jam and light acidity with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Has a nice old-school stout vibe. Good stuff.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol June 2015. Deep gold in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. Sweet, orange, fruits, earthy malts with something green and mossy in the background, before a moderately bitter finish. Rustic and messy, and a struggle to finish.
