Amber color. Lots of diactyle. Uninteresting caramel notes. Very linear and boring. Really malty and so uninteresting.

50cl bottle from Alfred the Grape, Marlow. A bit of gusher on opening, but I managed to get most of it into a pint glass, where the head soon settled down to a beige ring; the colour is gourgeous, dark chestnut with a raspberry red gleam when held to the light; the aroma has a distinct hint of cocoa powder, but also some red berry fruit; the mouth feel is soft and milky with some plummy fruit that’s quite tart rather than sweet, and there’s a subtle undercurrent of chocolate of course; there’s a pleasant bitterness and a dryness from the deeply roasted malts towards the finish, as well as a very pleasant warmth. This is an excellent chocolate stout, it’s a shame it didn’t all make it into the glass!

Cask at The Land of Liberty in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire on 14 July 2013. Clear light amber pour with white head. Sweet tropical fruit aroma with hints of candy sugar and some citrus hop. Initial hop bitterness is offset by sweet mango and butterscotch flavours.
