Bottle at my Pre-CBC Tune-Up Tasting. It pours dark brown, with a thin bubbly beige head. The nose is caramel, roasted malt, bonfire, smoke and soy sauce. The taste is roasted malt, charcoal, wood, filter coffee, chewy malt and a touch of chocolate, with a dry, roasty finish. Medium body and low-average carbonation. A solid stout.

Cask@The Plough, Norwich. Pitch black colour, small brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, toffee and mild ashes in just about a perfect balance. Flavour is mild roasted notes, some coffee, caramel and mild wooden notes. Really pleasantly balanced. Bartender (the brewer, I think) said there is an 8 % version of this one in the plans...
