Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at Swindon Beer festival, 28/10/2016. Near black in colour with a slight, beige, head. Rich, toasted malts, liquorice, milk chocolate character, leading to a boozy, slightly dry finish. Good.

50cl bottle from the Grumpy Goat, Reading. A glossy black pour with a ring of tan head; aroma of molasses and espresso coffee; thick and oily in the mouth with a lively, sharp bitterness that cuts through the sweet chocolate malt body; then a satisfying finish with chocolate and coffee, some warmth, and a lingering herbal bitterness. A well made stout.

Bottle split at ABC Beer The Hague, 24/09/2015. Thanks. A golden orange coloured pour with a halo of off white head. Aroma is sugar, caramel, spicy hop, hedgerow berry. Flavour is composed of sweet caramel malts, hedgerow, hawthorn, tangy apple, and hints of cinnamon. Assertive rough bitterness. Palate is Semi sweet, highish carboantion. Meh.

Bottleshare at Lancaster Gate. Thanks to Dan. Gusher. Almost opaque dark brown beer, tidy tan head. Palate is over carbonated airy. Mellow dark malts, trace of dark chocooate. Tangy dark fruits. Bitterish floralness. Light dry finish. Not bad apart from the over carbonation.
