Cask by handpump, one-third pint at the Ship and Mitre. Coal dark body, low layer at the top, dotted spots to the glassware. Dark chocolate nose added by coffee notes. Earthy malts in flavour with a touch of dark chocolate. Dry, roasted bitter ending. Not thin at all. Pretty nice even though the blackberry was absent (Liverpool, 08.04.2013).

Cask, half, shared with Finn at NWAF ’13. Cloudy, dark golden body. No head, some dotted spots down the glass. Lemony hops to the nose. Mixed taste profile of citrus and earthy malts. Dry bitter ending. Well bodied. Good (Manchester, 23.01.2013).

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, 12/01/13. Mid black with a thin tan head, good lacing ensues. Nose is light roast malt, berry fruits, touch of liqourice. Taste follows, molasses, hint of chocolate, berry fruit flavour seems a tad artificial but it’s fairly subtle so doesn’t detract from the general stoutiness! Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry finish. Ok.

Cask at GBBF 2012, London. Pours clear brown with a fint, tan cream head. Dark toast nose with hints of cocoa, dark berries. Light sweet flavor with faint toast, heavy charred malts and cigarette butts. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Faintly sweet finish with lots more burnt malts, leaves and cigarette butts. OK.

Cask @ Holyrood 9A
Reddish copper brown, clear, frothy white head, good lacing
Aroma - caramel malts, medicinal, cinnamon(?), spicy, fruity malts
Taste as aroma, didn’t get the chilli
Palate - medium body, quite oily, bit sticky. Finish - bitter herbal, quite dry, bit medicinal, touch of cinnamon again, over bitter linger
Overall - OK bit seems overcramped with too much additional flavourings in it and has a rather bitterish linger - it did get somewhat better drinking more of it
