Bottle from Co-op, Chobham. Creamy coffee aroma, if not overly strong. Dark and glossy. Thick beige head, in fact it was a real gusher when the bottle was first opened. Initial medium-heavy bitterness, which carries on through into the finish. Super tart berries and liquorice. However the promised coffee and chocolate are there in the undertow. Light-medium bodied. Some slickness to it but somewhat thine After the initial splurge of froth the carbonation is somewhat subdued. Astringent finish. A good stout, but not better than that. Could do with more body to it.

Bottle from Co-op, Chobham. A dank basement aroma, mixed with flora, caramel and something nutty. It is light copper. Thin bubbly white head. There’s a nutty maltyness I’d associate with a bitter but an orange/tangerine sourness that takes the lead. Irn Bru?! Medium bodied. A hint at watery with a soda carbonation. Low key finish. Pretty decent. Refreshing.

Bottle from Co-op, Chobham. Sharp floral, citrus and grass aroma. Cooked veg too. Bright gold. The bubbly white head soon fades away. Light bitter. Umami, slightly peppery, finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Lazy soft carbonation. Abrupt finish. Pretty bland. I guess it does have some spiciness to it which gives it a bit of dimension.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Light milky coffee and malts aroma. Dark cola brown. Decent beige head. Light bitter. Matches the aroma, only with cream not milk. A spiuciness comes through into the finish. Medium bodied. Creamy. Soft carbonation. Long, if muted, finish. Enjoyable. Best summarised by my third use of the word ’creamy’.

On cask at the Caley Picture House. Appearance - golden with a decent head and a slight haze. Nose - elusive. Maybe some lemon and cereal. Taste - muesli generally. A touch of dry fruit but mostly dry cereal. Palate - light to medium bodied. The texture is a bit crunchy. Dry crunchy finish too. Overall - a bit gnarly but solid enough.
