Cask gravity at Craft 100. It pours deep mahogany brown with a small off-white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, fudge, earthy roasted malts and coffee grounds. The taste is rich, bitter, brown bread, raw alcohol boost, earth, cereal, spice and orange peel with a boozy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit rough around the edges for my liking. So-so.

Cask at CBC Brixton. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds grainy malts, lemon rind. Light sweet flavour with more rindy citrus, some floral hops, grainy pale malts, grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly grassy on the finish, with husky grains, lemon rind, slight minerality. Not bad overall.

Surprising--sweetness up front fades into smoky complexity

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Clapham, London, 28 Nov 2015) Dark brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark bread, chocolate and roasted malt. Malty, roasted taste with dark bread, roasted malt, chocolate, orange peel and a balanced citric bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty, but more like a brown ale with fresh hops than a black IPA. Quite nice.
