Cask at GBBF 2010. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of sweet and some roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of roasted malt and soy sauce, leading to a dry finish.

From cask. Pours dark brown to black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and slight fruity. Fruity, roasted and breadish malt. Slight vanilla and sweetness coming through. Ends slight bitter, roasted malt and slight chocolate finish.

Cask at GBBF 2009. Black, thin tan head. OK. Little thin in the mouth, but some choc and liquorice in the swallow. OK, too much liquorice for me which is never my favourite flavour in a stout.

Deep ruby coloured body. Almost burnt aroma of dark malts. Acidity of dark malts in flavour offset by hints of chocolate malts. Maybe a little too much sweetness towards the ending, but otherwise quite alright for a stout with this low alcohol strength (Sampled at the rating table, GBBF 05.08.2009).
