[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] An opaque peaty brown coloured pour with a thin tan head; chocolate malt aroma with some raisins; smooth and grainy in the mouth with a rich roasted coffee taste and a burnt grain bitterness, then some chewy malts and a deep woody bitterness; followed by a pleasant gentle warmth in the belly. A very tasty stout.

Hand pulled half pint at the York Tap on 20th May 2026. Dark bodied, beige roof. Malty with only a slight hint of coconut in the nose and taste. Expected more, but it was fine, went well with my Stilton and Pork Pie.

Deadication beer to French pianist Marcelle de Manziarly, died on this drinking day in 1989. This Piano Man is mildly hazed golden-blonde coloured ale. A hoppy session with quite a smooth texture, there's some fruity promise in aroma that doesn't seem to transfer into flavour.
