Cask at the Jolly Butchers, London on 3rd December 2010. Black with part-lacing offwhite creamy head. Aroma is spicy, fruity and with smoke. The kick in this beer is richly malty with berry fruits and grapefruit hop. There was a subtle but delicious savoury note. The finish is bitter with burnt malts and a touch of smoke. An engaging textured mouthfeel. Superb.

Cask @ The Bree Louise. Nice mix of citrus and black malt, but milder than the american black IPAs. Semi creamy texture.

Cask at The Bree Louise. Black IPAs are not my favourite style, but this one actually works! Think smooth UK stout with US hops

From cask at Bree Louise. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is roasted malt, light caramelish and vague hoppy fruity. Rather bitter and fruity flavoured. Underlying caramelish note. Bitter, caramelish and roasted finish.

Cask at the Market Porter. Pours an opaque, amber-brown with a mild, light tan head. Nice, lightly roasted malts on the nose with present, citrusy and piney hops. Flavor is quite nice. Sweet throughout, there are flourishes of roasty, salty and smokey malts, along with certain, resinous bitters. Even some hints of bacon. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Finishes sweet and malty, but with great roast and pine notes. Lightly lip-smacking. I think this beer really nails it. Superb.

Cask, Gravity at The Bree Louise, London Sat’ 13th November 2010 Pours black with a light beige head and a touch of redness shining through. Bit smokey I found on the nose, not so hoppy though which was a slight disappointment. Smooth and fresh tasting beer. Its certainly likeable. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3 Had this again On cask, gravity at Banbury Beer Festival, 07.05.11 Pours black with a smattering of beige bubbles. Wonderful hoppiness both on nose and in mouth, roasty touch of smokiness on nose. I enjoyed this and came across better than when I’d had it previously hence the re-rate. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov15 3.7

(Cask at Bree Louise, London) This beer was a pleasant surprise. It greeted me with clear, fresh and fruity hop aroma. Also, this wasn’t any hop bomb. There were also malts and mild toffee flavours to balance the hops. For such a mild beer this was really tasty.

(Cask at Bree Louise, London) A normal bitter with clear nut flavour. Aroma was ok but nothing unsual. Drinkability was very good. The beer looked good, too.
